Description
Before modern medicine, infant mortality and death in childbirth rates were high. This ring was made for a child who died in infancy or as a baby. It is gilt bronze, size 3 3/4 with a rounded face band, and oval bezel cut with a four-line "X", perhaps representing the star of Bethlehem. It was made for the burial of a child and suggests a family of some means. The symbol likely is a combination of Christianity and remnant Paganism. As expected, the ring shows no wear and little evidence of its centuries on the ground. It has been professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored. See the reference image which shows the process. Gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
