Byzantine Culture - 10th to 12th Century AD A substantial bronze ring featuring a distinctive multi-lobed bezel, characteristic of Byzantine personal adornment. The scalloped bezel originally likely held a decorative insert, engraved element, or colored inlay, now lost through time, leaving a textured surface that reflects its long archaeological history. The robust hoop and pronounced shoulders create a bold profile, while the surviving green and brown patina attests to centuries of age and burial. Rings of this type were worn throughout the Byzantine world as personal ornaments and occasionally carried symbolic, devotional, or status-related significance. The elegant lobed bezel and balanced proportions make this example particularly representative of medieval Byzantine metalworking traditions. Material: Bronze Dimensions: 2.2 × 2.1 cm Weight: 6.7 g Provenance: Acquired in Germany from an old German private collection. All items come with CoA.
