Ave!

Ring, Medieval, Men's, Wings Intaglio, ca. 11th-16th Cent

Copper alloy; 5.5gm/24mm - Ring size 8

Con/ As Cast and Engraved; glossy dark green patina; wearable.

Seller's Note/ As seen in the photo, the hand-engraved bezel features a pair of opposing wings spread in flight. We believe that this reflects a similar "wings, star, moons and growing crops" motif symbolism found on similar rings, but just in a different manner as viewed by the craftsman who created this ring.

This ring was found in the very same farm fields as similar 'walking stork motif' rings also presented in our shop. But why such walking storks? In medieval times, as well as now, storks were a symbol of good luck, longevity, and when they returned to their nests it was Spring and time to plant your crops.
