Item 100. Islamic Bronce Anillo - Medieval 10th - 14th AD (Sin precio de reserva)

Medieval Bronze Ring – AD 1000 to 1400 – 24x18 mm – 9.92 g

This robust medieval bronze ring features a thick band with prominent raised geometric and circular motifs carved along the shoulders and sides, suggesting both a decorative and potentially talismanic function. The ring’s bezel is large and recessed, indicating it once held an inlay—possibly glass, stone, or enamel—now lost to time. Its heavy weight and intricate ornamentation suggest it may have belonged to an individual of notable status.

The ring’s surface displays a well-preserved greenish patina, consistent with long-term burial and aging. The decorative pattern retains remarkable clarity despite minor wear, and the overall structure remains intact, showcasing the craftsmanship typical of medieval European metallurgy.
