Ottoman Empire Silver-metal Ring with Green Hardstone Intaglio with a Bird (No Reserve Price)
A very impressive Ottoman Empire silver-metal ring. It presents an oval raised bezel with a green hardstone showing a bird in flight. The intaglio decoration potentially served as a stamp or a seal, illustrating a protective symbol or the heraldry of the owner. The raised bezel is richly decorated on all sides and the band with a pattern of stippled rectangles and geometric motifs. The stone is framed by a delicate filigree. Good solid condition, wearable. Signs of wear consistent with age and use.
Inside diameter: 2 cm
UK ring size: T 1/2
Provenance: Purchased by the current owner in 2021. Prior English collection of Mr. A.H.D.
