Medieval Silver "Crowned "Ring
900-1200 AD - Europe
900-1200 AD, Byzantine. Silver ring with circular hoop and crown-shaped bezel with intricate "crown-shaped" bezel adorned through granulation and filigree work. The medieval empire of Byzantium was justly famous for the elegance of its jewellery, whether in precious metals for the aristocracy, or in bronze for people further down the social ladder. The crown may reflect either a crown or a stylised depiction of a domed Orthodox church, hinting at the possibility that it belonged to a member of the clergy. Excellent, wearable condition. Size: 20mm;US 10 UK U 1/2; 6gr. Provenance: From the private collection of an Essex gentleman; previously in an old British Collection, formed before 2000.
