Description
Crusaders Period, Ca. 1100-1400 AD. A solid bronze ring comprising a circular band, shield-shaped shoulders linearly decorated, and a large round bezel engraved with a cross inscribed within a circle flanked by a decorative band. Good condition. The cross, the principal symbol of Christianity, recalls the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the redeeming benefits of his Passion and death. The cross is thus a sign both of Christ himself and of the Christian faith. For more information on Crusader period rings, see Pollio, T.N. (2018). Ancient Rings - An Illustrated Collector's Guide.
