From the article

The archaeologists also surfaced a wedding ring bearing a Hebrew inscription reading, "Behold, you are consecrated unto me."

sorry. I read so much that sometimes I do get bogged down and do not see all that needs to be noticed.
reread the article and saw the quote. beautiful ring. you just didn't find or buy that anywhere.
rip.

Harei At Mekudeshet Li

That's what it should be at least, all I can see is the second half, due to the curve. It's (often) part of the Jewish wedding ceremony

Another common translation is "I take you to be my wife"

There's a traditional song that goes with it, here's the translation

YOU ARE BETROTHED TO ME

I take you to be my wife, this is what I will say

When you will ware your bridal dress

The singer will sing for you, my sweet soul

And I will agree in a harmonious voice



Ho, beautiful bride,
I swear to you, in the name of love

Ho, beautiful bride,
I will ask for your hand even in the next world

Hug me and we will close our eyes,
and remain forever two flowers

You and I are a match made in heaven,

So let's have a chupah (canopy) with all the lovers




I take you to be my wife, this is what I will whisper

I will take you to dance on the dancing floor

When the party will be over, my beautiful,

We will go on our honeymoon

And will seal our love forever

Ho, beautiful bride,
I swear to you, in the name of love

Ho, beautiful bride,
I will ask for your hand even in the next world

Hug me and we will close our eyes,
and remain forever two flowers

You and I are a match made in heaven,

So let's have a chupa (canopy) with all the lovers

Traditionally girls dance in a circle to the song, usually the unmarried ones and the bride.

That ring is not traditional, most use a plain gold ring with no adornments, bezels, etc. Some won't even allow for engraving.

That whole saying and dance has sort of fallen out of favor, it's still done fairly frequently, but most use two rings and the saying "I am my beloved, and my beloved is mine"

It would be interesting to know more about the uprising. Who led it, how effective was it, why did the Nazis destroy the site after the uprising, etc.
