A beautiful and delicate ladies seal ring. Hand made in bronze and
dating from the medieval period circa.1200-1400. In lovely condition

authenticating signatures, but also for sealing household possessions in
the ancient world, and were one of the only items of jewelry (besides
the betrothal ring) explicitly approved for women’s use in patristic
sources. UK size I 1/2 with an internal diameter of 15.3mm and an
internal circumference of 48mm.
