They had seen things you couldn't even begin to imagine.
They had been there for the caress,
as they had been there for the slap.....
always waiting, waiting..........for new stories.
Passed from pocket to pocket,
hand to hand,
thumb to thumb.
Each day...the thrill of being slipped on anew....
Personal collection of tribal silver and glass rings from Yemen. Jewish craftsmanship, approximately 70-100 years old. Talismanic, often worn by Yemeni brides on their left thumb for protection.
