I was unaware of Mexican Biker Rings. Apparently they used to be a big thing... maybe they still are.

Whilst hunting some time ago, I ran across this item. Small thick bronze disc with enameled brass Indian on it. I just could not seem to figure out what it was. The bronze base really stumped me.

Low and behold, there is a whole genre of Mexican biker rings. Many are silver with bronze inserts. Head dressed Native Americans were/are a popular theme for these rings.

That concludes today's lesson.

Thanks for looking and best of luck on your hunts!

We see those here quite often.

The ones with Aztec, Mayan or Inca icons usually get at finder's blood pumping.

Those styles of rings have been around a long time, but don't have any direct link to organized biker gangs. The Indian motif was just very popular.

I wasn't dating him, but I did take his old lady for a test drive!
