AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Medieval European Bronze Signet Ring, 13th to 15th Century A.D.
Substantial bronze signet ring with a large oval bezel measuring approximately 2 × 2 cm, deeply engraved with geometric linear and hatched decoration (diagonal lines forming a structured pattern). The thick, robust hoop shows a dark, stable patina with attractive silvery-grey highlights on the worn bezel. This is a solid and characterful example of a personal seal ring from the High to Late Middle Ages.
Signet rings of this type were widely used across Europe (especially in Germany and the Low Countries) by merchants, officials, and the lesser nobility for sealing documents and letters. The bold geometric engraving is typical of the 13th to 15th centuries.
Material: Bronze
Bezel Dimensions:. 2 × 2 cm
Provenance:
Acquired in Germany from a German private collection, formed in the 2000s.
