This is an extremely rare medieval kabbalistic ring, dating to the 12th - 13th century A.D. It is inscribed in Lombardic script "AGIOS OTEOSA / TENAT" (Holy [is] God Immortal). The inscription is inlaid with niello, so too the decorated bezel. the condition is excellent, being a "charged" ring used in magic, and protection by a Mage. It has a strong "buzz" to it and one can still feel its great power when wearing it. A true museum quality piece that can still be worn and used.
