AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Symbol of Resilience — Celtic Bronze Ibex Seal Ring
Keeping its balance on steep cliffs and finding its way through harsh terrain, the ibex evokes resilience, determination and the strength to endure. Its image forms the striking centrepiece of this bronze seal ring.
Engraved into the oval bezel, the ibex combines sharply defined lines with surrounding ray-like details to create an expressive composition. Its powerful stance gives the ring a distinctive character: a symbol of perseverance and the will to overcome obstacles.
The slender band elegantly complements the decorated bezel. The contrast between the dark patina and engraved details enhances the design’s visual impact. As an object intended to leave a personal impression, the seal ring brings the theme of resilience together with identity and belonging.
Material: Bronze.
Period: 3rd–1st century BC.
Weight: 3.10 g.
Size: 23 mm.
Condition: Very good. Age-related surface wear is visible, while the animal motif and decorative details remain distinct. Please refer to the photographs for details.
