An Islamic Silver Ring with Rectangular Black Stone Intaglio and Arabic Inscription.
The ring is set with a rectangular black stone plaque, finely carved in intaglio with dense Arabic inscription arranged in horizontal registers. The calligraphy is deeply cut and evenly spaced, creating a strong contrast against the smooth, polished surface of the dark stone. The inscription is Qur’anic in character, rendered in a compact and highly legible script.
Provenance: Part of a private gentleman’s collection, based in W London.
