Ca. 1100-1400 AD.
A silver finger ring of elegant simplicity boasts a flat-section hoop that encircles the finger with an understated grace. At the heart of the ring, a large flat bezel commands attention, meticulously engraved with the emblematic Fleur de lis motif. The Fleur de lis motif, a symbol of both regality and spiritual significance, is an evocative emblem that bespeaks a fusion of beauty and meaning. Its tripartite petals, rendered with a sense of fluidity, exude an aura of elegance and grace. In the context of the Crusaders Era, this motif holds particular resonance as a symbol associated with heraldry and chivalry, encapsulating the Crusaders' quest for spiritual and temporal sovereignty.
