ROMAN GILT CHRISTIAN RING C.3RD-7TH CENTURY.

Description

Late Empire to the Early medieval period, the period of the growth of Christianity. Size 3 3/4 for the small finger. 3.2mm band. Raised lenticular bezel with curvilinear lines. Partial figures such as this were codes among early Christians during the period of persecution. The most famous of these is the ichthys or fish symbol. Legend has it that upon meeting a stranger, a curved line was drawn in the sand. If the stranger added another completing the fish symbol, two Christians had met! Textured from burial. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored. See the reference image which shows the process. Jewelry gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.
