Description from the seller

A late-antique bronze seal ring featuring two stylized eagles facing each other on a rounded bezel. The design reflects early Byzantine and late Roman symbolic themes of protection and authority. Cast in a solid bronze alloy, the ring shows a rich aged patina with worn yet clearly visible engraving. Likely used for sealing personal documents or belongings, this piece represents a classic form of late-antique craftsmanship and symbolic artistry.
