    • Superb Rare Antique Timurid Dynasty Silver Islamic Ring

      This incredible piece dates to the 15th century Timurid dynasty. The flat pointed oval scaphoid bezel of this cast ring features a deep chisel cut nielloed one-line inscription in Nasta’liq cursive script surrounded by a diagonal line patterned border.
