Medieval Period/ Near Eastern Silver Ring with Red Inlay -13th–16th Century AD Material: Silver Stone/Inlay: Red coral or coral-imitating vitreous paste (see notes) Description A well-preserved medieval silver finger ring, likely dating to the Medieval period (13th–16th century AD), characterized by a robust construction and a distinctive multi-ribbed hoop composed of twisted and beaded wire motifs. This type of decorative band is typical of medieval metalwork from the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East, particularly in contexts associated with Crusader states, Byzantine influence, and Islamic workshops. The interior and exterior surfaces display consistent age wear and natural patination, with no signs of modern manufacture. The ring’s relatively light weight and compact proportions suggest it was intended for everyday wear rather than ceremonial use.
