摘要：A gold signet ring was discovered under unknown circumstances in Bosnia in the latter half of the 19th century and was donated to the National Museum in Zagreb. The ring is superbly preserved; its bezel features an entire coat of arms with legend, while the hoop is adorned in the Gothic style, with plant and zoomorphic motifs and a prophylactic Latin inscription. The ring’s owner was Triphon Buche (Tripe Buća), a merchant from Dubrovnik and an official in the court of Bosnian King Tvrtko I Kotromanić. The paper provides data and analogies pertaining to the ring type, an analysis of the inscription, and a discussion of the coat of arms and an explanation its identification with this respected and distinguished historical figure of the late 14th century.
