Ring, Medieval, Hungary, Arpad dynasty, ca. 11th-12th Cent.
(1/1)
Mayadigger:
Ave!
Silver plated copper alloy; 2.8gm
Constructed in two parts; the bezel was hand-stamped with lip about...and the band was then soldered to the bezel.
This ring was certainly used as a signet to seal documents, letters, etc.
Upon arrival, the ring was heavily encrusted, but after an acid wash, this was the result.
Because of the weight, only 2.8gm, I believed it was no later that the 19th Century. Whoops!
Just sharing and enjoy!
Best,
Kevin
