Item 101. Islamic Bronce Anillo - Medieval 10th - 14th AD (Sin precio de reserva)

Medieval Bronze Ring – AD 1000 to 1400 – 19×20 mm – 3.56 g

This medieval bronze ring features a flat, oval bezel engraved with a stylized cross-like motif, possibly indicative of personal devotion or symbolic affiliation. The band is slender and slightly tapered, designed for daily wear, suggesting it may have belonged to an individual of modest status. The engraved design, though weathered, retains a clear form, adding historical character to the piece.

Its compact size and understated decoration are typical of personal rings from the High to Late Middle Ages, often used as signet rings or talismans. The dark patina and surface wear are consistent with long-term burial and oxidation.
