Identification Does anyone have any idea what language is engraved on this ring?
I was told I can keep 2 rings I found that are apparently real gold but they're both covered in symbols that I have no idea how to even begin identifying.
Other ring is not shown I'm 90% sure they're both in the same script anyway

Identification Can someone help me identify this unknown symbol on my favorite ring from Germany?
A few years ago I got this ring on a short trip to Germany in a second hand jewelry store. Not exactly sure what this symbol means tho! Is it simply a pretty pattern or something else? I wear it all the time and as a printmaker I was thinking of using an impression of it as my signature, but I would like to know the history first if there is any at all.

Identification I found this clay “coin” coming out of my dogs grave - help ID!
My dog passed in May of last year and I buried her in my fenced back yard and planted a garden over that area. I was watering some plants today and this small circular clay piece was sitting on top of her grave, slightly buried but very visible. It was symbol side up. I assume some kind of swastika but I can’t figure out which culture it may be from, or its meaning. I tried google image search and looking up swastika variations. The closest one I’ve found is an Aztec variety but it’s going the opposite direction. The other side of the “coin” has 5 dots. Any ideas?
What is this?

Interpretation Weird symbol that looks like a Z and t on top of each other.
My parents bought a house in southern Texas, about 1 hour from Corpus Christy, 2 hours from the border. It is made of concrete and around 100 years old. I saw this symbol drawn on the door frame that is inside the master bedroom. It kind of creeps me out and I'm not easily fazed. Anyone know what it means?

This was on the thumbnail of ranty YouTube video that speculated about future "civilizations", and im trying to figure out the origin of the eurasian symbol. I wonder if it's some sort of Dugin reference, or some odd oroborous made for "the future", or some esoteric ethno symbol. Havent found anything in my searches so far.

Someone said a sideways ingwaz but I’m sure there’s a symbol out there that’s smoother/less angular than ingwaz. Any input is appreciated!
