Apart from the ring and glass plate a have no Idea so this is a very good capture for the contest Milka, plus very interesting photo and nice detail plus composition too.
I'm not sure, but it looks like a little robot with a wedding band he may have just stolen. LOL Very interesting, and very nice, Milka. Good luck in the contest.
Very good entry, it really has me guessing. My first thought about the largest item was also a gyroscope. But that can't be right, gyroscopes aren't mounted in such antique stands. Then I thought it might be some kind of light where the knobs on the side adjust the flame.
The item in the plate looks like a bracelet. But the size isn't right when compared to the ring. This made me think the ring isn't really a finger ring but something else like a napkin ring.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
well, a wedding ring in there, but the glass, I do believe is part of an old telephone wire hook up. (I think.. have seen something similar to this... but can't swear it was for a phone... maybe early elctrical -the wires go through here before they get to your house - kinda thing....
