Description from the seller

Vintage medieval Byzantine silver ring, exceptionally beautiful, of course unmarked given its age, featuring Christian elements, including a bunch of grapes and the Resurrection, and in the center, Saint George the Great Martyr mounted on a horse carrying the double cross on his shoulder with the dragon under the horse's feet, a Christian representation signifying that through faith and the power of the cross, the dragon, meaning the devil, is defeated. The ring size is 19 mm and it weighs 8 grams
