MEDIEVAL CHRISTIAN RING C.500-800 AD, SIZE 10 1/4 11/8/2022 Gilt bronze of broad formEarly Dark Ages when Christianity was recognized by Rome but the balance of Europe followed Pagan worship. Gilt bronze, size 10 with 4. 1mm rounded face band expanding to the shoulders. Circular bezel cut with a cross, on radial ground intended to obscure the cross.
