13th Century Byzantine Signet Ring Size:6.5 Classic and VictorianDATE: Byzantine, c. 1250 An amazing ancient signet ring. It was made in 13th Century Byzantium, modelled in bronze with an oval shaped head that features an intaglio carved scene possibly with a person and trees. It's wearable, although we wouldn't recommend prolonged exposure to water. Purchased as part of a set we have two more available elsewhere on the website.
