Medieval Stirrup Ring
Sold!

This rare medieval ring gets its moniker "stirrup ring" from its distinctive shape which evokes that of a horse stirrup. Stirrup rings were popular from the 12th century into the 14th and was worn by both the clergy (the heftier versions of this style are sometimes called "Bishop's rings) and well-heeled laymen.
