Large Celtic Chief's Ring Druid "Knotwork" Panel

This authentic bronze Celtic Druid ring was found at a site in Ancient Thrace where the Celtic tribes held sway until they were subdued by the Romans and dates from between 300BC and 100AD.

These types of rings were often given by a tribes chief to a deserving warrior who could use it as a badge of office and show that he spoke for his chief in important matters. This fine ring features a 13mm round bezel which is a full 3mm thick! The bezel has one of those "Geometric" patterns that are common on this ring type. It has what looks to be a type of stylized "cross" that has a wide, Celtic " KNOTWORK " panel running horizontally through it. These designs were quite popular among the Ancient Celts and figured heavily in a lot of their decorative work. The engravings are still very deep and bold and make for a handsome design which always has some type of Druidic and Magical symbology going for it.

The band is almost 9mm wide at the shoulders and tapers to about 6mm wide at the very back of the band and is still in good condition for being of such a great age
