Why is it called a poison ring?
1 Answer
A poison ring features a small container built into the ring and concealed behind a hinged lid. It was rumored to be used to hold toxic substances to kill enemies, but could also be used to hold relics or a small amount of perfume, a lock of hair or other small treasures.
