Medieval, Crusaders Era Bronze Ring “Star of Bethlehem” at its heart stands for a Guide and a Guardian, (No reserve price)

A remarkable and beautifully preserved medieval Crusader seal ring, crafted in bronze and featuring a boldly engraved Star of Bethlehem motif. This symbol—commonly associated with divine guidance, pilgrimage, and the Nativity—was frequently used by Christian warriors and travelers during the Crusader period.

The ring displays a broad, circular bezel, expertly carved with a stylised star at the center, framed by radiating linear patterns and geometric borders. The engraving remains crisp despite its great age, retaining excellent visibility under angled light.

The band shows a smooth, even patina typical of excavated medieval bronze, with natural wear that testifies to centuries of use. Elegant in proportion, the ring is still perfectly wearable today (with care) and stands as a powerful artifact of crusading faith and identity.

This type of ring was commonly used both as personal adornment and as a seal, pressed into wax to authenticate documents or mark personal belongings. The Star of Bethlehem symbol made it especially meaningful for pilgrims traveling to the Holy Land.
