Descrizione

An islamic gold ring set with a large blue sapphire.

12th century A.D.

Stone 8 x 12 mm; ring size 14 x 15 mm circa; 4,45 gr

This ring made of gold sheet over core with ellipitical bezel. Each shoulders has engraved floral design. The high raised bezel, was one each side decorated with engraved intricates pattern (now partially erased). The large oval bezel supports a blue sapphire held by 4 claws. This style of decoration is a translation of the decorative traditions used on garnements and textiles. Slight chips on the edges of the stone. Nice natural blue color. One side of the bezel has been partial damaged, letting the dark core of the mounting uncovered. Parallel: for similar ring typology see Wenzel, M., Ornament & Amulet, the Nasser D. Khalili collection, n°189, p.66-67

Provenance: UK private collection D.C.
