A remarkable Viking-era bronze seal ring, featuring a deeply engraved geometric grid pattern — possibly used as a personal mark of identity or protection. Such rings were often worn by Norse chieftains, traders, or warriors as symbols of status, loyalty, and divine favor. The grid-like design may have served both a decorative and magical purpose, representing order over chaos, a sacred concept in early Norse belief. With its dark patina and powerful symmetry, this ring carries the aura of medieval Scandinavia — an age of seafaring explorers, myth, and craftsmanship. The impression it would have left in wax could have marked possessions, letters, or pacts, sealing both trust and destiny. Culture/Period: Viking Age, 9th–11th century AD Material: Bronze Dimensions: Diameter 85 mm (outer), 77 mm (inner) Condition: Very fine; strong patina with light wear consistent with age. Provenance: Private European collection A genuine relic of power and belief — this seal ring connects us to the Viking world, where every mark bore meaning, and every ring told the story of its bearer.
