Heart and Arrows Ring

[robfinds]

This large bronze ring bezel, was the some total of yesterday afternoons good finds. It shows a heart pierced by arrows. Above the heart could be a eye, dropping tears on to the heart. Age wise, would guess 17th/18th century. Robert.

Amazing find ! I wonder if it could have been used as a seal ring ? It looks as if the design elements are incuse .

True Argentium, it could well have been a seal ring. Robert.

I would call that a "Broken Heart Ring Seal",, but I have an overactive imagination. lol
Congrats on a very nice but different find.

very nice find! I thought it looked a bit older than 18th, too.. I assume you checked the hole and surroundings for the missing piece? Congrats

Yeap, I'm sticking on 14th C. Pretty rare find really & yes they did double as seals.

CONGRATULATIONS ! very cool save

I observed an all seeing eye see below. I also feel this was a seal. Look with a 20-30X loupe in some of the tight corners for traces of wax residue.

Cheers and Congratulations again

Ugh, I know. It was a fully functioning website until a auto-renewal error caused it to be wiped completely. I need to get it re-built but have been putting it off, and putting it off.
