AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A finely crafted antique silver seal ring, handmade and set with a striking lapis lazuli intaglio seal stone. The ring features a rectangular lapis lazuli bezel, deeply engraved with the image of a horned animal—likely a ram or goat—rendered in a stylized, archaic manner consistent with early intaglio traditions. The animal appears in profile, its raised foreleg and curved horns suggesting motion and symbolic presence, a motif historically associated with strength, protection, fertility, or pastoral power.
The silver mount is robust and architecturally formed, with a thick bezel securing the stone and broad shoulders tapering into a solid band. Subtle hand-worked details and engraved ornamentation on the shoulders further emphasize its artisanal construction. The ring shows evidence of traditional hand forging rather than modern casting, reinforcing its authenticity as a handmade antique object.
