The bezel is engraved with a geometric star like device formed by intersecting incised lines that create triangular compartments, some enhanced with dotted punchwork. The entirely geometric composition was designed to produce a clear and recognizable seal impression. The ring retains a brown patina with mineral accretions consistent with age and burial. Such pieces functioned primarily as personal sealing tools while also serving as visible markers of identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"705\" data-end=\"992\"\u003eDetails\u003cbr data-start=\"712\" data-end=\"715\"\u003eMaterial: Bronze\u003cbr data-start=\"731\" data-end=\"734\"\u003eDate: High to Late Medieval, 13th–15th century AD\u003cbr data-start=\"783\" data-end=\"786\"\u003eRing Size: EU 56 \/ US 7.75\u003cbr data-start=\"812\" data-end=\"815\"\u003eProvenance: Private Belgian collection, assembled before the 1960s\u003cbr data-start=\"881\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eUnique Identifier: R-170-B\u003cbr data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"913\"\u003eCondition: Good, with brown patina and mineral accretions consistent with age\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"696\" data-start=\"111\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eRestoration and Authenticity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis piece is preserved in its untouched state, showing natural aging and patina from centuries of burial and wear.

Unlike earlier figurative seals, many later medieval examples favored bold linear and star based patterns that translated clearly into wax. The radiating triangular compartments and punchwork detailing reflect a design language rooted in order, symmetry, and symbolic protection. Rings of this type were worn by townsmen, merchants, and minor officials, serving both practical administrative functions and as daily worn emblems of personal authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61133239714122,"sku":"R-170-B","price":220.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/IMG_0183.jpg?v=1771437096","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.com\/products\/medieval-bronze-signet-ring-adalric-13th-15th-c-ad-eu-56-us-7-75","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
