Medieval Bronze Ring – AD 1000 to 1400 – 20x15 mm – 4.52 g This authentic medieval bronze ring features a distinctive oval bezel with linear engraved decoration, likely symbolic or abstract in nature. The sharply defined grooves and intentional incisions suggest personal or protective use, possibly linked to heraldic or talismanic traditions of the High to Late Middle Ages. The ring’s proportions, with a compact internal diameter and low-profile setting, indicate it was designed for regular wear. Its elegant simplicity, combined with its patinated surface and traces of ancient wear, reflects the utilitarian yet meaningful nature of medieval personal adornments. • Material: Bronze • Dimensions: 20 × 15 mm • Weight: 4.52 g • Date: ca.
