Historical Context & Origin
Region: Eastern Mediterranean / Near East
Material: Brass or copper alloy (cast and hand-finished), aged patina
Period: Late Roman to Early Byzantine / Early Medieval
Description
This ancient ring features a narrow hand-formed band supporting an oval bezel engraved with small circular and geometric motifs. The surface displays a warm brass or copper-alloy tone beneath darkened archaeological oxidation, indicating centuries of burial and age-appropriate patination.
The engraved bezel reflects the stylistic tendencies of provincial workshops active from the Late Roman through Early Byzantine period, where simple geometric iconography was widespread. Rings of this type served not only as decorative adornments but also as personal talismans believed to offer protection, status, or identity within local communities.
Features
- Hand-cast brass/copper-alloy construction
- Oval bezel with geometric circle-dot motifs
- Distinct untouched archaeological patina
- Slender tapered band with ancient surface wear
- Strong display presence for collectors of early metalwork
Cultural Significance
Provincial rings from this period were used across the Roman and Byzantine world by civilians, traders, soldiers, and craftsmen. Their engraved geometric motifs often carried protective or symbolic meaning, functioning as intimate personal objects tied to identity and belief. This ring stands as a well-preserved example of early metalworking and personal adornment from over 1,300 years ago.
Condition
Excellent preservation for its age. Stable patina with surface wear consistent with antiquity. No modern repairs observed.
Dimensions (Approximate)
Ring Size: US 3.5
Width at bezel: 0.6 in (approx.)
Age
Circa 3rd–7th Century CE (Late Roman–Early Medieval)
