A Group of Ten Islamic Silver Tone Metal 'Calligraphic Script' Intaglio Stone Rings, 88CB
This skilfully assembled group of ten rings is made of silver tone metal, each set with an intaglio carved stone tablet bearing detailed Islamic calligraphic script in oval, square, octagonal and hexagonal forms, with chased and incised decorative work on the band and shoulders. The flowing calligraphic script carries sacred religious meaning within Islamic tradition, conveying devotional verse and spiritual blessing. The stone settings display a range of visual colours, including green, warm orange, deep blue and red, with natural surface specks, subtle patina and gentle age related wear visible on both the stones and the metal. The metal bands show hand chased floral and scroll ornamentation with a worn patinated finish, and each stone is held in a simple bezel mount with crisp intaglio lettering on the carved face.
