Medieval Islamic Bronze Ring – 10th to 12th Century AD – 20x21 mm – 3.08 g This finely cast bronze ring originates from the Islamic world during the medieval period, between the 10th and 12th centuries AD. The bezel is engraved with a simple yet symbolic linear motif, likely intended as a talismanic or decorative mark, reflecting the cultural synthesis of artistry and spirituality that characterized the Islamic Middle Ages. Its compact form and lightweight design suggest it was a personal item, worn daily as both adornment and amulet. The surface displays a dark patina with traces of age-related wear, testifying to its centuries-long history. The slightly irregular circular band shows minor distortion, but remains intact, with the engraved bezel retaining its legibility. Objects such as this ring not only served as jewelry but also carried protective and symbolic meanings, embodying both the aesthetic refinement and spiritual depth of the Islamic medieval world. • Material: Bronze • Dimensions: 20 x 21 mm • Weight: 3.08 g • Date: 10th–12th century AD • Condition: Good, with surface wear, patina, and minor distortions consistent with age and use.
