Sasaniană Aur și Garnet Ring
A Sassanian gold and garnet finger ring, featuring a high bezel and a flat-section hoop with scooped shoulders. The bezel displays a carinated shape in profile and is set with an oval piece of garnet flat-topped cabochon. The ring is enriched with an additional small cell connecting the bezel and one shoulder, which would have likely been set with a gemstone. The surface of the garnet stone presents some abrasions and a crack while the ring band displays a crack near the bezel on the side where the small cell sits.
The Sassanians or Sasanians succeeded the Achaemenid, establishing an Empire which, at its peak, expanded from the Euphrates to the Indus Rivers and included modern-day Armenia and Georgia. Sassanian art borrowed from Near Eastern and Greco-Roman traditions, and adapted the significance of these cultures’ iconography to the local repertoire.
