Medieval White-Bronze Signet Ring 11th–13th Century AD A scarce ancient signet ring in white-bronze (copper alloy), dating broadly to the Roman through Medieval period. The ring has a sturdy hoop and a circular bezel engraved in intaglio with a stylised floral device—best read as a palmette/rosette-like motif with radiating “petal” elements arranged symmetrically within a border. The piece retains an attractive, untouched surface with aged green patination and encrustation consistent with long burial and genuine antiquity. Such rings were worn both as personal adornment and, when engraved, could serve as a seal, pressed into wax or clay as a mark of ownership or identity. The engraving is bold and graphic, suited to producing a clear impression. The ring remains solid and wearable, showing honest wear and minor irregularities consistent with ancient casting and prolonged use.
