Seljuk Dynasty Gold Islamic Ring
This quite small (yet mighty) 21K gold ring dates to the 11-13th century Seljuk dynasty. The hexagonal bezel features a negative cursive inscription within a border containing arabesque scrolled patterns. There is a waisted section between the bezel and shank. Typical Seljuk ornamentation and palmettes decorate the shoulders and tapering band, albeit much of the original design has since faded.
