Ring of Stefan Konstantin Nemanjić Artifact The seal ring of Stefan Konstantin Nemanjić is a gold ring with a representation of a double-headed eagle, discovered in a tomb of the Church of Saint Stephen in Banjska. According to the latest research, it is believed to have belonged to Konstantin, the younger son of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš II Milutin (reigned 1282-1321) and the brother of the Serbian King Stefan Uroš III Dečanski (reigned 1321-1331). The ring dates back to 1322, when Constantine tragically died under unknown circumstances. This seal ring has a decoration visible in three segments: on the head a double-headed eagle, around the neck an Old Serbian inscription "Ко га носи помози му Бог" ("May God help whoever wears it") and then a decoration along the ring. The skill of the work testifies to a goldsmith who worked in a Romano-Gothic artisan milieu, possibly in Italy. The ring is kept in the National Museum in Belgrade (no. 26_342).
