About the Item
Period: 6th – 7th century
Ring size: 12 ½
Weight: 3,95
L’anello bizantino del VI – VII secolo è realizzato in oro ed ha incisa la Menorah ebraica sormontata da un’iscrizione. Nel periodo bizantino si assiste a una diffusione di anelli con connotazioni religiose, solitamente utilizzati per confermare la propria appartenenza a una determinata fede. La scelta di incidere la Menorah, inoltre, è estremamente votiva, giacché i sette bracci di cui si compone simboleggiano i sette giorni della Creazione e alludono alla luce della conoscenza e dell’illuminazione spirituale a cui l’uomo dovrebbe aspirare. Inoltre, colpisce – oltre alla condizione conservativa eccellente – la grande abilità orafa e incisoria che la manifattura bizantina del VI – VII secolo riuscì a raggiungere.
The Byzantine ring from the 6th – 7th century is made of gold and is engraved with the Jewish Menorah surmounted by an inscription. In the Byzantine period there was a spread of rings with religious connotations, usually used to confirm one's belonging to a specific faith. Furthermore, the choice to engrave the Menorah is extremely votive, since the seven arms of which it is composed symbolize the seven days of Creation and allude to the light of knowledge and spiritual enlightenment to which man should aspire. Furthermore, the great goldsmith and engraving skill that the Byzantine manufacture of the 6th – 7th century managed to achieve, and the excellent conservation condition are really remarkable.

This highly important, museum rarity early Christian gold (approximately 22.85 Kt) ring is engraved with the bust of Christ holding a Gospel Book. His nimb is decorated with a cross.
