Medieval, Crusaders Era Bronze Ring (No Reserve Price)

Medieval Crusaders' Era Bronze Ring, 11th–13th Century AD This rare medieval bronze ring, dating to the Crusader period (11th–13th century AD), features a robust band with a simple yet elegant design, likely worn as a sign of devotion or status by a Crusader knight or pilgrim in the Holy Land. Symbolism & Historical Significance: Bronze rings from this era often served as personal talismans or seals, reflecting the wearer’s faith and resilience during the Crusades. The unadorned yet sturdy craftsmanship suggests practicality, common among soldiers or pilgrims who valued durability over ornamentation. Such rings were imbued with spiritual significance, potentially linked to protection or pilgrimage vows. Connection to the Crusades: Worn by Crusaders during their campaigns to reclaim Jerusalem, this ring may have belonged to a knight, cleric, or layperson associated with the period’s military orders, such as the Templars or Hospitallers. Its simplicity aligns with artifacts found in Levantine archaeological sites from the 11th–13th centuries. Condition: Intact with a natural dark patina and minor wear from age, preserving its historical character and authenticity. Dimensions: Inner Diameter: 19 mm Weight: 6.09 g Provenance: Previously part of a private European collection, established in the 1980s.
