    • A heavy Balinese priest's ring of about 1900 in 22K gold, probably made for a priest or spiritual leader.

      At the centre is an 18 x 15mm domed glass cabochon over grey-blue foil, typical of Balinese ritual jewellery of the time. The bezel stands 12mm from the finger.

      The shank is richly chased and applied with scrolls, and each shoulder ends in a Barong-style bird mask. The bird is probably Jatayu, from the Ramayana, who tries to rescue Sita from the demon king Rahwana; the story is still danced in Bali today.

      A bold, sculptural ring in the southern Balinese style, wearable and full of meaning.

      Details: c.1900; Bali, Indonesia; 22K gold; glass cabochon 18mm x 15mm, standing 12mm; UK L½, US 6; 16.52g.

      Condition: The glass cabochon is secure and intact. Please ask for a detailed condition report.
