Islamic Bronze リング - 西暦10世紀から13世紀 (No reserve price)
Islamic Bronze Signet Ring with Geometric Bezel – Islamic Culture – 10th to 13th Century AD
A bronze signet ring featuring an elongated oval bezel decorated with a carefully arranged geometric composition centered on a raised square motif. The surrounding field is filled with deeply engraved linear patterns radiating outward in a symmetrical arrangement, reflecting the strong preference for abstract and geometric ornament that characterizes medieval Islamic artistic traditions. Rings of this type served both as personal adornments and as symbols of status, identity, or ownership.
The ring is cast in bronze and displays a slender hoop supporting the prominent bezel. Its dark archaeological patina, combined with traces of mineral deposits and surface wear, attests to considerable age. The geometric decoration remains clearly visible, creating a striking visual contrast between the raised central element and the engraved background. The overall design is elegant, restrained, and representative of medieval Islamic metalworking.
