Lot 25: An Islamic Silver Ring with Carnelian Agate Seal.
An Islamic Silver Ring with Carnelian Agate Seal.
The ring is formed in silver with a substantial, rounded bezel set with a circular carnelian agate panel of deep reddish-orange tone. The stone is finely engraved with flowing Arabic calligraphy arranged within a circular field, surrounded by an intricate border of scrolling vegetal motifs.
The calligraphic composition is delicately incised, with elegant, elongated strokes interwoven across the surface, creating a dense and harmonious design typical of Islamic seal engraving. The surrounding border features tightly coiled arabesques, adding visual depth and refinement to the piece.
