In Viking communities, gifting was an important social ritual with great implications regarding expectations of honour and loyalty. In these cases, jewellery was not simply worn for aesthetic purposes; rings such as this one were often given as gifts in order to cement bonds of loyalty between a lord and his followers or warriors. Bestowing gifts was also a key way to demonstrate wealth and power.
