Medieval, Crusaders Era Bronze Ring (No reserve price)

This exceptionally rare bronze ring dates to the Medieval Crusader period and represents an authentic example of symbolic jewelry from the Middle Ages. The circular bezel is decorated with a pentagonal rosette motif, a powerful symbol traditionally associated with life, continuity, and abundance in medieval iconography. During the Crusader era, rosette motifs were widely used as protective and spiritual symbols, carrying both religious and secular meanings. The pentagonal geometric arrangement reflects concepts of cosmic order and the cycle of life, making such rings more than decorative objects—they were believed to confer protection, prosperity, and fertility upon the wearer. The surface displays a natural patina and signs of age-related wear, confirming prolonged historical use and reinforcing the ring’s authenticity. Comparable examples are today primarily found in museum collections and advanced private holdings. Dimensions: Height: 20 mm Outer diameter: 24 mm Inner diameter: 20 mm Authenticity: A Certificate of Authenticity can be provided upon request in PDF format.
