Double wedding ring from the collection of György Ráth

The ring was originally round but it has been cut into two in a vertical turned line. The two separate pieces can be screwed together and can perfectly fit into each other at a certain point. Both pieces have a hand decoration when screwing the rings together, the hands clasp. The enameled majuscule inscriptions of the pieces read as follows: PETKI JÁNOS – KORNIS KATA, and CORDE CONIVNCTIVIVAMUS. This type of ring was extremely popular in Central Europe, and therefore, a great many similar pieces survived in various collections, such as the one in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, dated 1650.
