Mittelalter, Epoche der Kreuzritter Bronze-Ring mit Kreuzmotiv, getragen als Symbol des Glaubens und des Schutzes (Ohne mindestpreis)
A compelling medieval bronze ring dating to the Crusader period (12th–13th century AD), featuring a distinctive engraved cross on its bezel. Rings of this type were commonly worn by Crusaders, pilgrims, and members of the Christian communities of the Levant during the era of the Crusader States.
The ring is crafted from cast bronze with a slightly oval hoop that widens into a flat, polygonal bezel. The bezel bears a hand-engraved cross motif, formed by four radiating arms ending in rounded terminals, arranged symmetrically around a central point. This simple yet powerful symbol reflects the devotional character of personal jewelry used during the medieval Christian presence in the Holy Land.
The surface displays an attractive dark brown to green patina with areas of natural corrosion consistent with long-term burial, adding authenticity and historical character to the piece. The interior of the band remains smooth, while the exterior shows the subtle irregularities typical of medieval handcraftsmanship.
Size: 21mm, W: 2.05g
Rings of this type were both personal devotional objects and status markers, worn as expressions of faith or possibly associated with pilgrimage or participation in Crusader campaigns. Similar examples have been documented in archaeological contexts across the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly in regions once controlled by the Crusader Kingdoms.
A striking and historically evocative example of Crusader-era devotional jewelry, ideal for collectors of medieval antiquities or Crusader-period artifacts.
