Made of light gray silver, the ring has an oval shape. It is decorated with a floral pattern. In traditional Kazakh society, kudagi (relatives from the groom’s or bride’s side) exchanged such rings as a sign of gratitude and respect. Beneath the large double-winged ring were two smaller rings, symbolizing the union and harmony of the two families.
