A very impressive Ottoman Empire silver-metal ring. It presents a raised bezel with an oval red hardstone intaglio showing a caped king seated in his throne with a standard in the right hand. Two incised dots enrich the background. The intaglio decoration served as a stamp or a seal, illustrating a protective symbol or the heraldry of the owner. The raised bezel is richly decorated on all sides with geometric pattern and a twisted wire. The ring band is also embellished with twisted wires on both edges, framing a feather-like pattern. Good solid condition, wearable. Signs of wear consistent with age and use. Inside diameter: 1.9cm Closest UK ring size: T Provenance: Purchased by the current owner in 2021.
