Description from the seller
Ottoman Islamic Silver Ring with Engraved White Agate – 18th to 19th Century AD
An Ottoman Islamic silver finger ring set with a large oval white agate stone bearing a heavily worn engraved design, possibly originally intended as a personal seal. The substantial silver mount features a high claw setting surrounded by pierced and punched ornament, while the broad shoulders are decorated with dense geometric and vegetal motifs characteristic of later Ottoman jewellery. The pale translucent agate displays natural dark inclusions that contrast strongly with the aged silver, which preserves extensive surface wear and oxidation consistent with prolonged use and considerable age. Comparable Ottoman and Islamic rings of the 18th and 19th centuries frequently incorporate engraved agate stones mounted in substantial silver settings.
Material: Silver and White Agate
Dimensions: 3.2 × 2.9 cm
Weight: 13.9 gr
Provenance: Acquired in Germany at an Auction House.
