Medieval Silver Gilt Ring with Agnus Dei - The Lamb of God Circa 15th century AD This lovely silver gilt ring exhibits a robust one-piece construction, with a flat-section shank expanding to form a large, flat bezel. The bezel is finely engraved with a depiction of an Agnus Dei with vexillum and cross, encircled by a decorative dotted border. The Lamb of God, also known as the Agnus Dei motif, is a Christian symbol that represents Jesus Christ as the sacrificial Lamb. Depictions of the Lamb of God typically show a lamb with a halo, often carrying a banner or cross. This motif is derived from biblical references, particularly from the Book of Revelation, where Jesus is referred to as the Lamb who was slain for the redemption of humanity. Cf.
