Trench art skull rings, popular during World War I, often incorporated skull imagery as a symbolic representation of the harsh realities of war and the ever-present threat of death. These rings, crafted from shell casings and other materials found on the battlefield, served as a tangible reminder of the war experience and a way for soldiers to process the trauma and loss they witnessed. This is a petit ring in size J, but is adjustable to enlarge. A lovely little and poignant ring. ref. Siltin
