A Mughal Green Glass Archer’s Thumb Ring with Gilded Inlaid Motifs.
An archer’s thumb ring carved from translucent green glass, formed with a broad, gently sloping exterior and a smoothly hollowed interior designed to sit securely on the thumb. The outer surface is decorated with a repeating arrangement of teardrop-shaped inlaid elements set into shallow recesses, each outlined with fine gilded borders. The vivid red inlays contrast strikingly against the soft green tone of the glass, creating a rhythmic pattern that encircles the ring.
Provenance: Private collection from a distinguished W London collector.
