This is a nice medieval bronze signet ring, dating to the 12th-14th century AD. The ring is decorated with an oval bezel with an ear of barley wheat. The shoulders are decorated with cross-hatching and a star. Such a ring would have been used to seal documents, and probably once belonged to a farmer or merchant. A nice early ring with a deep English Green patina.
