Description
Ring with inscription in Hebrew in the name of Boneta, found in a woman's burial, on one of the fingers of her right hand. This ring widens in the upper part in the shape of a rhomboid with the inscription of the name. Above and below it, a plant motif looks like a schematic lily flower. As is common in this type pf ring, the name appears without any element. The fact of burying the bodies with a ring inscribed with the name could be reminiscent of the ancient custom of stating the name of the deceased somehow inside the tomb.
