Medieval, Crusaders Era Very Rare ring with rectangular bezel held by two confronting snake (No Reserve Price)

An evocative personal ring featuring a rectangular bezel flanked by two confronting snake/animal heads serving as terminal mounts. The paired heads form a guardian motif around the bezel — a decorative and symbolic formula often read as protective or apotropaic in early medieval Northern contexts. The narrow band and hand-worked character of the terminals are consistent with small personal dress rings of the Viking / Anglo-Saxon – early medieval sphere. Weight: 4.13g, Height: 22mm Culture: Medieval / Viking / Anglo-Saxon era Date: 11th-13th Century AD Material: Silver
