Its six-lobed sexfoil bezel is engraved with a central geometric star surrounded by radiating hatched strokes in each petal, a folk-style rosette of quiet power. The broad band, with ribbed shoulders tapering to a smooth back, retains the soft sheen of aged billon silver touched with green malachite in the engraving lines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEra: Medieval, 13th–15th Century CE\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Silver\u003cbr\u003eRing Size: EU 57 \/ US 8\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Well-preserved with authentic patina, malachite deposits in the engraving, and gentle wear from centuries of use\u003cbr\u003eProvenance: From a private Belgian collection, acquired between the 1960s and 1990s\u003cbr\u003eUnique Identifier: R-206-S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRestoration and Authenticity:\u003cbr\u003eOffered in its original and cleaned condition with no modern repairs.
