Four rings from the Chalcis treasure dating from 13th-15th century. The Chalcis treasure was buried 
in 1470 in Chalcis, Greece - a Venetian trading post - to save them from the Ottoman Turks.

    Nice bling bling there.

    You should get the exhibition catalogue on the Pritzwalker hoard.
    http://www.foederales-programm.de/smb/pritzwalker-silberfund-spaetmittelalterlicher-schmuck/

    About a stash of 14th century silver jewellery and dress accesories that was stuffed into the ground in an east german hanseatic town, Pritzwalk, somewhere after 1392.
    It also contains a good overview of comparative treasures found in northern europe.
