Medieval Bronze Ring – AD 1000 to 1400 – 22x22x16 mm – 5.42 g This robust medieval bronze ring features a deeply engraved geometric motif on its bezel, possibly intended for personal identification or symbolic use. The design consists of a central cross-like pattern enclosed within radiating lines, forming a structured and ornamental composition typical of the Romanesque to Gothic transition in Europe. The ring’s thick band and circular profile indicate it was made for regular use, likely by a male wearer of some local status. The craftsmanship suggests it may have served both decorative and practical functions, possibly as a seal or talisman. Its smooth patina and preserved contours underscore its authenticity and historical wear. • Material: Bronze • Dimensions: 22 × 22 × 16 mm • Weight: 5.42 g • Date: ca.
