Islamic Bronze リング - 西暦10世紀から13世紀 (No reserve price)

Islamic Bronze Signet Ring with Stylized Kufic Design – Islamic Culture – 10th to 13th Century AD A substantial bronze signet ring featuring a large rounded bezel engraved with a geometric composition derived from stylized Kufic calligraphy. The design is formed by elongated angular strokes arranged in a balanced ornamental pattern, characteristic of medieval Islamic seal rings where script frequently evolved into abstract decorative motifs. Such pieces functioned both as personal adornment and as markers of identity, status, or religious affiliation. The ring possesses a robust hoop and an unusually large bezel, giving it a commanding appearance. The engraved field remains clearly visible beneath a rich archaeological patina displaying attractive brown and green tones acquired over centuries. Examples of this type were widely produced across the Islamic world, particularly in Persia, Mesopotamia, and surrounding regions, where geometric calligraphic ornament became a defining artistic feature of personal metalwork. Material: Bronze Dimensions: 2.7 × 2.3 cm Weight: 8.13 g Provenance: Acquired in Germany. Former German private collection assembled during the 1990s. All items come with CoA.
