David Ring

Drawing made by David Ring for the visualisation of the Europeana Fashion Thesaurus. The description of the concept in this drawing is: Small objects worn as protecting charms, as to ward off evil, harm, or illness, or to bring good fortune. For objects specifically cut with astrological or magical symbols, intended to protect the bearer, but not necessarily worn, use "talismans." Small objects believed to posess magic powers and worn as a good-luck charm or as jewelry. (AAT)
