The Ring itself was a bronze ring in the shape of two intertwing snakes in the process of shedding their skin.
Some might say that the Ring showed two snakes making love whilst shedding their skin but when Timon's younger sister had gone out to get him a gift apon his graduation from Mexico;s City's Medical University Juanita had been
thinging in terms of the Staff of Hippocrates,which depicts two snakes intertwines around a Hippocratic Oath Staff.
When Juanita had entered the dusty shop near the Great Pyrimid and chances apon the Ring
she'd assumed it was some kind of medical ring with its two intertwined serpents.
In actuality it wasn't,but Timon's sister could be foregiven for giving him what was a SKINshifters Ring that
a Conquistador had brought over to the New Word centuries earlier.
In actually the Ring had belonged to the Dutch Alchemist Johannes Faust
and there was a possibility that the Devil had a hand in its making.
Timon didn't know anything about the Rings devilish origins or he probably would have flung the diabolical object in the deepest Well he could find.
