**Collection:** Prehistory and Historical Archeology Dept. **Inv.-No.:** [UF-8271.2](https://www.online.landessammlungen-noe.at/objects/229525) **Material:** Copper **Dimensions:** 5,2 × 3,8 cm **Dating:** 800 - 975 CE Crescent-shaped temple ring. This is a piece of jewelry that hangs from a headdress or from the front of the hair braids on the side of the head. The right hook is bent sharply forward and the crescent-shaped pendant is slightly damaged at the edges. The decoration is partly executed in tremolo stitch. It is possible that the main motif represents a highly abstracted face. On the back is a rectangle applied using the same technique. This object was digitized through the ‘Kulturerbe digital’ program of the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Public Service and Sport.
