塞尔柱王朝伊斯兰石榴石戒指

A superb Islamic gold and garnet stirrup ring dating from the 12th century Seljuk Dynasty. The truncated conical bezel is set with a natural pyramidal form garnet stone held in place by 14 wedge-shaped prongs soldered against the outside of the high karat gold bezel.

The exterior of the ring is finely engraved with circles containing swirling bands of trefoils and arabesque motifs. The hollow shank, of semi-circular cross section tapers towards the back.

The Seljuks, a Turkish dynasty of Central Asian nomadic origins, became the new rulers of eastern Islamic lands following the defeat of the powerful Ghaznavids at the Battle of Dandanakan (1040). Under the Seljuk sultanate, the region enjoyed a period of material and cultural prosperity.

UK size K/US size 5.25, 2.92g high karat gold tested as 21K. Garnet measures 5mm in diameter. This ring is in good overall condition despite its immense age, the stone is securely set and the front of the ring is in perfect shape whilst the back of the ring is quite dented, which is not unsurprising considering the hollow nature of the shank.

A truly unique and rare collectors piece. The stone really glows in sunlight. Please message for more photos!

在整个伊斯兰世界，从波斯、中亚到安纳托利亚与黎凡特，戒指都是一个人最私密的随身之物之一。它们既是签署文件的印章，也是祈求庇护的护身符与信仰的标志；镶嵌其上的硬石常刻有主人的姓名、虔诚的箴言或《古兰经》经文。

伊斯兰戒指横跨众多王朝，包括塞尔柱、帖木儿与萨法维王朝。11 至 13 世纪的塞尔柱金匠尤为技艺精湛，以乌银（一种黑色嵌料）与精细的金珠粒工艺加工金银。红玉髓、玛瑙、石榴石和青金石是最受青睐的宝石，常刻有优雅的库法体或纳斯赫体铭文。每一件都是可佩戴的小小历史。
