Ca. 1000-1500. A beautiful gold ring with a circular hoop and flattened, discoid bezel bearing an incised Maltese cross within a dashed circle. This ring may have belonged to a crusader, perhaps a knight, as a mark of his status. The elegance of this particular item also means that it may have belonged to a member of the Knights Templar, an elite Catholic military order founded in AD 1119 with the aim of defending the newly reconquered Holy Land.Size: UK: P, US: 7 1/2; 4.97gProvenance: Property of L.C. .previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1980s.
