Curtain Ring


Jamestown Rediscovery

Curtain Ring

Beds were very expensive and only a gentleman would have ranked a bedstead at Jamestown. Brass rings held curtains around the bed to protect the sleeper against drafts. Thirty-one brass curtain rings have been excavated from the site. This ring was found in Pit 1.
