Researchers note that the image on the ring does not correspond to traditional Christian symbolism, which is often found in artifacts of the time.

Under the Wawel Castle, the former residence of the Polish kings in Krakow, a gold ring with an unusual design, probably from the 11th or 12th century, was found. It was reported by Arkeonews.

According to scientists, the image on the ring does not correspond to traditional Christian symbolism. The decoration, which includes a shield with two opposing faces, may refer to Janus, the two-faced Roman god, and indicates a high level of local craftsmanship. He is considered the patron saint of beginnings and endings, entrances and exits, transformations, etc.

The ring has a thickness of 1.5 mm, a diameter of 4 mm and a circumference of 57 mm. The ring is decorated, which makes it unusual. After all, few early medieval gold rings with no decoration or simple geometric patterns have been found in Poland.

Researcher Jerzy Trzebinski believes the ring is likely a local item and may have belonged to the elite during the Piasts, Poland’s first dynasty, which ruled from the state’s founding in the 10th century until the 14th century. The shape of the ring is typical of that period in Poland.

It was previously reported that archaeologists discovered an Iron Age blacksmith’s workshop in South Oxfordshire, dating from 770-515 BC.
