Description

A Roman silver seal ring from the 1st–3rd century AD, engraved with two facing birds—symbols of harmony, loyalty, and divine protection. A finely balanced piece of early Imperial craftsmanship.

Description
This solid silver ring features an octagonal bezel with a shallow engraving of two facing birds, possibly doves or cranes. The geometric design and flat shoulders reflect early Imperial style, where simplicity and symbolism prevailed. Such motifs conveyed concordia—unity in partnership or faith—and were often chosen for personal seal rings used to stamp wax or clay. The silver surface shows natural age patina consistent with ancient wear.
