Mittelalter, Epoche der Kreuzritter Wunderschöner Andachtsring mit Kreuz-Augen-Symbol und Halbmond-Motiven (Ohne Mindestpreis)
An exceptional and deeply symbolic Crusader bronze devotional ring, finely engraved with a cross containing a central eye, framed by crescent and scroll decorations — a rare fusion of Christian and Eastern iconography from the Crusader period (12th–13th century AD).
Cross with Central Eye – the divine eye of God, symbolizing faith, vigilance, and protection.
Crescents – representing both the heavens and cultural exchange between Christian and Eastern worlds.
Interlaced Borders – eternal life and divine unity.
The rectangular bezel displays a raised cross at the center, within which an engraved eye symbolizes divine watchfulness and protection — the ever-present eye of God. On either side of the cross appear crescent motifs, representing the encounter between Christianity and the Islamic East during the time of the Crusades. The surrounding frame is enriched with rope and geometric borders, while the shoulders bear interlaced foliate designs, characteristic of Levantine and Byzantine craftsmanship.
Cast in solid bronze, the ring retains traces of dark patina with golden highlights, attesting to its age and authenticity. Such rings were worn by Crusader knights, pilgrims, or devout followers, serving both as personal tokens of faith and as protective talismans on journeys through the Holy Land.

Date: c. 12th–13th century AD
Material: Bronze (possibly once gilded)
