Medieval Bronze Rare Ring with Probable Limestone Setting – (No reserve price)
This Medieval Era bronze ring represents the material culture of the Levant during a period of intense religious, military, and cultural interaction. The ring features a raised bezel holding a probable locally sourced limestone or calcite-based stone, shaped in a simple cabochon form.
The ring measures 19 mm in diameter and weighs 4.51 g. The bezel construction and claw-like stone retention are consistent with medieval metalworking practices, designed to secure softer stones. Surface patina and mineral deposits indicate genuine age and long-term burial.
Such rings were commonly worn as markers of faith, protection, or personal identity. This example stands as a rare and meaningful collector piece, reflecting the understated yet powerful aesthetics of Crusader-era personal adornment.
