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

Islamic Bronze Signet Ring – 10th to 13th Century AD A medieval Islamic bronze signet ring featuring a circular bezel engraved with an intricate arrangement of angular linear motifs inspired by stylized Kufic calligraphy. The composition consists of intersecting geometric elements that create a decorative yet symbolic design, characteristic of personal seal rings produced throughout the Islamic world during the High Medieval period. Such abstract inscriptions were often intended to convey religious formulas, blessings, or personal identifiers while remaining highly ornamental. The ring is cast in bronze with a substantial hoop and elevated bezel. A well-developed archaeological patina covers the surface, highlighting the engraved decoration and emphasizing its age. The piece displays the distinctive aesthetic of medieval Islamic metalwork, where geometric order and calligraphic abstraction were combined into elegant personal adornments and functional signets. Material: Bronze Dimensions: 2.5 × 2.1 cm Weight: 7.11 g Provenance: Acquired in Germany. Former German private collection assembled during the 1990s. All items come with CoA.
