Splendid Christian, High Medieval Silver Ringsymbolising faith and protection.
An absolutely classic, High Medieval ring symbolising faith and protection. It combines the visual symbol of Christ (Chi-Rho) with the spoken invocation of God (deus nobiscum*In nomine Domini = God with us. In the name of the Lord.
This dual formula of protection was an extremely widespread blessing in the 12th to 16th centuries, intended to protect travellers, knights or clergy from harm on their journeys.
• in nomine domini
• Translation: ‘In the name of God
• Meaning: This is one of the best-known and most powerful Christian formulas of the Middle Ages. It served as a formula of protection and blessing. Whoever wore the ring placed themselves and all their actions under the direct protection of God. It was also used in everyday life as a quick prayer to ward off danger, illness or evil.
The small preview images on the right also show that the seal plate is flanked on either side by two further engraved trefoil crosses. The three ends at each arm of the cross symbolise the Christian Trinity – God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit.
