Yours: "10 papal rings"
Did you mean 10 papal pings ?? ( LOL)
Typically stuff went from the New World to Europe not the other way around.
Yes. I wondered how the looters got hold of 10 Papal rings in the first place???
Not!
Pope's were not widely traveled before the most recent.
Pope's do not surrender their rings. When a Pope dies, the ring is purposefully damaged because it contains the Papal seal, then it is destroyed or buried with them.
