Byzantine Bronze Byzantine Bronze Ring with Punched Dot Motif - 22.85 mm (No reserve price)

A Byzantine cast bronze finger ring with an oval bezel decorated with small punched dots and curved engraved lines arranged into a simple, symmetrical geometric composition. Such dotted motifs were common in Byzantine jewellery, reflecting a taste for abstract, repetitive ornament.

The slightly raised bezel is smoothly integrated with a thick hoop typical of Byzantine bronze rings. Rings of this type were worn as personal ornaments and occasionally used as simple signets.

The surface shows natural wear and a dark grey patina consistent with ancient bronze. With an intact hoop, this is a genuine, wearable and displayable Byzantine antiquity.
