Villainous Merchandise: Ring of Morgaine

From the Pyramid Collection catalog:

Ring of Morgaine
Item #: P41616

Price: $44.95

Many call her a Witch; others (including The Mists of Avalon author Marion Bradley), a priestess. No matter: As half sister of Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot, Morgaine's status as attendant to the goddess inspired the creation of this impressive sterling silver ring, antique finished and flashing with insets of genuine marcasite. Whole sizes 5-10.
