The device, a horizontal bar flanked by pellets and outward-curling scrolls with radiating terminals, may suggest a mirrored fleur-de-lis or a purely foliate composition, though the reading remains uncertain. Whether 'Lioris' was pressed into wax as a mark of identity or worn simply as adornment cannot be established from the object alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy This Piece?\u003cbr\u003eThe mirrored scroll bezel and radiating shoulder grooves give this ring a quietly graphic presence, and the golden fill in the engraved lines lends warmth to the dark patina, an appealing survival for collectors of medieval signet forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExplore more \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/medieval-crusader-rings\"\u003eMedieval rings\u003c\/a\u003e from our collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63603087016266,"sku":"R-64-B","price":160.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/medieval-bronze-signet-ring-lioris-with-mirrored-scroll-bezel-three-quarter-view-1.jpg?v=1789812451","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.com\/products\/medieval-bronze-ring-lioris-14th-17th-c-ce-mirrored-scroll-bezel","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
