Medieval Bronze Ring – AD 1000 to 1400 – 21x18 mm – 6.62 gr. This bronze ring features an elongated oval bezel with intricate geometric engravings, likely intended for use as a personal seal or identifier. The carefully incised lines, arranged in angular patterns across the surface, suggest the stylized depiction of letters or symbols, possibly representing initials or a family mark. The ring exhibits a uniform dark patina, attesting to its age and burial conditions. The hoop, although slightly distorted over time, remains intact, and the thickness of the band reflects a functional and durable design. Its weight and craftsmanship point to a piece used by a person of certain standing, possibly a merchant or minor noble. • Material: Bronze • Dimensions: 21 × 18 mm • Weight: 6.62 g • Date: ca.
