Crusader Period Silvered Bronze Ring Levant c12th–13th Century AD Authentic Antiquity
Item: Ring
Material: Bronze with surviving silvering traces
Culture: Crusader States / Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem
Date: c1100–1250 AD
Ring size: approx US 4.5
Description:
Crusader-period ring cast in bronze with clear surviving patches of original silvering visible along the band and bezel area. The ring displays an irregular, hand-finished profile typical of Levantine Crusader metalwork, with asymmetrical thickening at the shoulders rather than a formal gemstone setting. Rings of this type were worn as personal devotional or symbolic objects rather than signet rings, and are frequently recovered from Crusader-era contexts in Jerusalem and the coastal Levant. The restrained, abstract form aligns with Crusader esoteric symbolism, where material contrast (silvered surface over base metal) carried protective and devotional meaning. Stable burial patina with honest wear. No modern alteration.
Authenticity:
Guaranteed authentic medieval antiquity. Fabric, corrosion, and residual silvering are consistent with excavated Crusader-period rings.
Condition:
Intact. Partial silvering preserved. Ancient wear and mineralization. No restoration.
