Iconic form as found in the UK in the pre Viking and Early Viking period. Size 10 1/4 with 2.8mm rounded face band. Broad flat bezel with a cluster of “circle and dot” motifs. Matching pairs of “circle and dots” on the shoulders. See Ancient Rings, Pollio, p.42, lower left for a near identical example. The arrangement of the circles is near symmetrical. The skill required to produce the rings belies the concept that the spacing is random, though its significance, undoubtedly spiritual, is now lost. Rings of this type have been found along the route to the Holy Land, and pilgrim badges are commonly found in England. After Viking settlements were established, something under half of English soil was still occupied by Anglo Saxons who frequently fought the Vikings. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold overlay restored. Gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity. Purchases of one or more ancient jewelry lots (that have $13 flat shipping prices) will only cost $13 in total combined shipping. •Celtic Roman Viking Medieval Norse Scandinavian ancient ring bracelet necklace
