Antique Authentic XVII/XVIII Century Heraldic Coat of Arms Tr. House of RADZIWILL with characteristic 3 horns. Very old in very good condition man’s signet. Made of Silver, CREST IS IN BLACK Black STONE maybe Onyx. Color black of the stone has a meaning: POWER & DETERMINATION. Seal – Radziwill coat of Arms- 3 horns in one, working! They are not many of them left in entire world. Inside the ring on lower band there are 2 signs, one of them looks like tiny, really tiny coat of arms again but I don’t have good enough magnifying glass to be sure. If yes it is older and made by Radziwill’s own jeweler. Barbara Radziwill become a Polish Queen in 1550 when she married last Polish King of Jagiellonian House -Zygmunt August.
