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, silver billon seal ring. The oval bezel is engraved with a Patriarchal cross, consisting of a vertical shaft intersected by two horizontal bars. Twisted ring band.
-> Rings bearing cross motifs became increasingly common in Europe during the Crusader era and and may have served as expressions of personal faith or protective symbols.
Outside diameter: ± 24,8 mm
Inside diameter: ± 20 - 17,1 mm
Bezel: ± 16 mm maximum
Condition: good solid condition, intact and wearable. Dark stable patina, signs of 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.
-> The Patriarchal Cross, featuring two horizontal bars, was widely used during the Crusades as a Christian emblem of faith and authority.
It became closely associated with the Crusader States and ecclesiastical leaders in the Holy Land, signifying both spiritual and temporal power. The Knights Templar also employed variations of the cross in their seals and insignia, reflecting their dual role as monks and warriors dedicated to the defence of Christianity.
To the present day Christians wear crosses and sacred pendants as tangible signs of their faith and Gods presence in their lives.
Catawiki disclaimer:
This object has been carefully examined for its material and surface characteristics.
Laboratory analysis (e.g. XRF) is not routinely undertaken in private collecting, and destructive testing is avoided as it causes permanent damage to archaeological material.
Before modern hallmarking, gold and silver alloys varied depending on local resources, recycling practices and economic conditions.
