Temple ring

Temple rings (temporal rings) are part of Slavic medieval woman dress. Most were made of base metals such as copper alloys or iron, though silver and even gold were occasionally used. These were known as temple rings because they were worn on the head, near the temples of a woman or a girl.

A temple ring may also refer to an altar ring used in rites at a temple in Germanic paganism.
