The ring is cast in one piece, with a thick rounded hoop that expands smoothly toward the shoulders to support the bezel. The engraving was executed after casting and shows even wear consistent with repeated use as a personal seal rather than decorative jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"527\" data-end=\"824\"\u003eDetails\u003cbr data-start=\"534\" data-end=\"537\"\u003eMaterial: Bronze (copper alloy)\u003cbr data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"571\"\u003eDate: Medieval period, 11th–14th century CE (probable)\u003cbr data-start=\"625\" data-end=\"628\"\u003eRing Size: EU 51 \/ US 5.75\u003cbr data-start=\"654\" data-end=\"657\"\u003eProvenance: Private Belgian collection, acquired in the 1960s\u003cbr data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"721\"\u003eUnique Identifier: R-153-B\u003cbr data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"750\"\u003eCondition: Intact, with surface wear and stable patina consistent with age\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"826\" data-end=\"1150\"\u003eRestoration and Authenticity\u003cbr data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"857\"\u003eThis piece is preserved in its untouched state, showing natural aging and patina from centuries of use.

The absence of letters, crosses, or coats of arms suggests a personal seal rather than an institutional or noble emblem. While certain construction aspects overlap with Late Antique traditions, the engraved chevron motif aligns comfortably with medieval signet practices across Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60879327396170,"sku":"R-153-B","price":180.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/IMG_9757.jpg?v=1768666150","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.com\/products\/medieval-bronze-signet-ring-chevronis-11th-14th-ce-eu-51-us-5-75","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
