Description from the seller

Ring - Catholic - Cross - Saint Benedict - Exorcism for the fight against demons.

The thick-bodied chevalière at the level of the worked plate of a Saint Benedict cross is a Catholic medal dating from the Middle Ages, supposedly useful as an exorcism for the fight against demons.
The ring is related to Benoît de Nursie, which bears the engraved image of Saint Benedict, surrounded by Sanctus Benedictus monachorum Patriarcha, meaning Saint Benedict, Patriarch of the monks.

In the plate of the ring, the cross called Saint Benedict appears, with a series of several letter series:
C S S M L : « Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux » : May the holy cross be my light.
N D S M D : « Ne quem dragon not be my guide » : May the dragon not be my guide.
Which is accompanied by several series of letters.
C S P B: « Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti »: Cross of Saint Benedict the Father.
In the corners are noted:
Vade Retro Satana, Numquam Suade Mihi Vana: Get behind me, Satan, never counsel me in vanity.
S M Q L I V B : « The draughts you offer are bad, drink your own poisons »: The potions you offer are evil; drink your own poisons.

Dimensions: 27 x 24 x 20 mm
Internal Diameter: 20 mm
Weight: 24 g
Aged golden alloy.
Stamped.
A presentation box will be included.
Shows a fine wear mark on the surface.

To note

The history of the Saint Benedict cross becomes popular in Christianity from the 16th century onward. In addition to protection against the demon, it is believed to cure all kinds of illnesses, protect from accidents, and form part of popular piety.
In his Life of Saint Benedict, Gregory the Great describes the patriarch of Western monks as someone who used the sign of the cross, especially to dissipate his own temptations, to break a vessel containing poison intended for him, or even to make an appearance of a fire in the monastery caused by the demon to cease.
