“Raimundus” – Medieval Silver Seal Ring (11th–13th Century AD) – EU 50 / US 5.25

This authentic medieval silver seal ring, “Raimundus,” dates to the 11th–13th century AD—an era marked by crusades, shifting frontiers, and the flourishing of European chivalric culture. The navette-shaped bezel is finely engraved with an abstract geometric motif, sometimes described as a “Crusader cross,” though its true form is more symbolic than strictly heraldic. Rings of this type were worn for both personal protection and as practical seals for marking documents and property.
