Islamic Intaglio in Sasanian Gold Ring

About the Item

A Sasanian gold ring adorned with a carnelian intaglio featuring masterful calligraphy. The carnelian intaglio in this particular ring is a testament to the mastery of early Islamic calligraphy, with its delicate curves and graceful lines forming a mesmerizing pattern that captivates the eye. The ring itself is equally impressive, with a gold band of a D-shape with a carinated profile that accentuates the beauty of the intaglio. The subtle yet sophisticated design of the band allows the calligraphic gem to take center stage, while also adding an element of elegance and refinement to the piece. Size: D: 16.31mm / US: 5 3/4 / UK: L; 3.59g Provenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1980s.
