Description from the seller
Attention: due to customs regulations we can only ship inside the European Union. Please ensure you have a valid EU shipping address before placing a bid.
Medieval Crusaders era, bronze ring with a circular bezel, engraved with a stylised Star of Bethlehem, framed by stylised palm branches. Wide shoulders, plain ring band.
-> The palm branch was used by the crusaders of the Holy Land as a symbol of victory of the faithful over the enemies of the soul.
Outside diameter: ± 25,4 mm
Inside diameter: ± 20,9 - 19,7 mm
Bezel: ± 14,9 x 15,4 mm
Condition: good and solid condition, wearable. The surface shows a very appealing smooth and dark olive-green patina. Some areas of earthen encrustations and surface wear, consistent with age and use.
Certificate of Authenticity (PDF) is available upon request for all lots with a hammer price of €100 or higher.
-> Many Christians believe the star was a miraculous sign and it was often claimed that a star fulfilled a prophecy (Star Prophecy). According to the Bible, a bright astronomical object led the Magi from the East to the birthplace of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. During the centuries the Star of Bethlehem was not consistently shown with five rays. Sometimes it is portrayed as a tailed comet, as a diamond-shaped star, or other variations.
The Star of Bethlehem was a popular symbol to adorn rings, jewellery and amulets of early Christians. It was especially popular during the Crusader period when the faithful Christians undertook military expeditions to expel the Muslims from the Holy Land.
To the present day Christians wear crosses and sacred pendants close to their hearts as tangible signs of their faith and Gods presence in their lives.
