The bezel is framed by a raised border and engraved with a central cross device dividing the field into four geometric panels, each filled with angular triangular line work that creates a radiating star like effect. The shoulders are structured with horizontal linear banding arranged in defined panels, reinforcing the architectural character of the design. Rings of this type served as personal seals and visible emblems of faith, with the cross motif conveying Christian identity and protective symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"1082\"\u003eDetails\u003cbr data-start=\"780\" data-end=\"783\"\u003eMaterial: Bronze alloy\u003cbr data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"808\"\u003eDate: High to Late Medieval, 13th–15th century AD\u003cbr data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"860\"\u003eRing Size: EU 61 \/ US 9.75\u003cbr data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"889\"\u003eProvenance: Belgien private collection, acquired before the 1960s\u003cbr data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"953\"\u003eUnique Identifier: R-165-B\u003cbr data-start=\"979\" data-end=\"982\"\u003eCondition: Good, with dark brown patina and green oxidation in recessed areas, consistent with age\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003eRestoration and Authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003eThis piece is preserved in its untouched state, showing natural aging and patina from centuries of burial and wear.

Engraved cross devices combined practical sealing functions with clear expressions of Christian belief. The geometric subdivision of the field reflects medieval design preferences for bold, legible motifs that would produce distinct impressions in wax. Such rings acted both as administrative tools and as daily worn markers of personal identity and devotion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aurora Antiqua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61132359500106,"sku":"R-165-B","price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7140\/9738\/files\/IMG_0177_7dad02f2-4c63-4e2f-8bcb-9759e3d65004.jpg?v=1771437255","url":"https:\/\/auroraantiqua.com\/products\/medieval-bronze-signet-ring-eadric-13th-15th-c-ad-eu-61-us-9-75","provider":"Aurora Antiqua","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
