This Late Medieval Bronze Shield Signet Ring is a remarkable artifact, embodying the spiritual and martial values of its era. Crafted from durable bronze, the ring features a robust shield-shaped face, symbolizing protection and strength. At the heart of this shield, a hammered cross design is prominently displayed, reflecting the deep religious fervour and the knightly virtues of faith and service during the late medieval period.
The textured background, resulting from the hammering technique, adds depth and character to the cross, making it stand out. This ring is not just a piece of jewellery but a testament to the intricate blend of spirituality and daily life in the medieval times. A part of our medieval jewellery collection.
