Very Large Medieval Bronze Glove Ring with Inscription to Hoop and Bezel. The Kal Noselson Medieval Collection (Lots 330-335 & 2160-2168) Circa 12th-13th century A.D. Large flat-section hoop with applied disc bezel; hoop with enigmatic retrograde legend 'ISR++????[.]+KPIC[.]+OUne[.]+BPIC+++'; disc with incised lines forming four panels, with legends '?u', '+', 'nu', '?'. Cf. Chadour, A.B., Rings. The Alice and Louis Koch Collection, volume I, Leeds, 1994, item 576, for type. 3.61 grams, 29.55 mm overall, 27.53 mm internal diameter (1 1/8 in.). (For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price.) Private collection of Kal Noselson, New York, acquired between 1976 and the late 1990s; thence by descent. Probably a glove-ring. The script appears to be Cyrillic: the sequence ']+KPIC[.]' may spell the word 'Krist-', 'Christ'. The bezel's grapheme '?' is probably the pronoun 'I' (1st person singular).
