後羅馬時期／前拜占庭時期 青銅色 戒指 - 公元4世纪至7世纪 (沒有保留價)

晚期罗马–早期拜占庭铜质印戒–公元4世纪至7世纪

一枚厚重铸铜印戒， features a thick circular hoop that expands toward a broad, raised oval bezel. The bezel is plain and gently domed, without a clearly preserved engraved device, suggesting that it may originally have served as a personal ornament, an undecorated signet or a setting prepared for an engraved motif that was never completed or has been lost through wear.

The heavy construction, integral bezel and simplified form are most consistent with rings produced during the transition from the Late Roman to the Early Byzantine period. Rings of this type were worn throughout the eastern Mediterranean and neighbouring provinces, where robust bronze examples provided affordable alternatives to precious-metal jewellery. The surface displays extensive dark green and brown patination, together with mineral deposits and areas of surface roughness accumulated during burial.
