Aztec Eagle Warrior at the beach...ring , that is....

[lorraine]

Hi

Haven't been finding much at the beaches these days, but because of my love of History I was pleased to find this copper Aztec Eagle Warrior motif copper ring.

The history of Aztec Eagle warriors is so very interesting ; here is the Wikipedia link to info on these warriors for those who may be interested:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_warrior

The ring gave off a loud, strident sound, and I thought it might be some type of heavy metal tubing, but upon recovery ( about 8" deep...wet sand slope) saw it was a ring with images on the band

I cleaned it up and hope you will like the photos of the ring.

I believe it is copper, and probably hand made...not sure, but it looks to be that.

Thanks for looking

Good luck out there to all!

Lorraine

P.S. Please ignore the above post info regarding the ring find; it is not an Aztec Warrior motif ring; I was mistaken, and thanks to AARC's research, I can correct myself on this ring's identity. Please check out AARC's post below.

Apologies for the misinformation.....truly embarrassing!

Thanks for the correction , AARC; I sure missed that one; had seen a photo of a similar ring listed as an Aztec Warrior ring, but obviously I mistook it for a thunderbird ring.

I appreciate the corrected information; astute research on your part

There are very faded letters ( possibly one is an "R") , and some type of symbol inside the band.

your style of ring, along with AARC's ID, pointed me in the right direction to identify the bracelet I found this morning.... good job by you!

I found a silver one earlier this week. Mine is marked sterling with a symbol that looks like it has an arrow and so thing else. I'll take a pic of it and post it later. Congratulations on the ring find.

Sounds like it might be a Bell Trading Post ring.

That's the Bell Trading Post makers mark...you can search Bell Trading Post and get the history on it...I found one of their rings a few years ago and that's when I learned about them.
