Ca. 1100-1200 AD. A gold ring of tapering profile, crafted with the utmost skill and attention to detail. The ring's shoulders are richly adorned with chiselled arabesque patterns, testifying to the Seljuk dynasty's mastery of the decorative arts. The oval bezel of the ring is secured with multiple prongs, which serve to highlight and enhance the beauty of the central gem. This ring is a stunning example of Seljuk gold jewellery, which was prized for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. During the Seljuk era, which spanned from the 11th to the 13th century, goldsmiths and jewellers created works of unparalleled beauty and sophistication. Seljuk jewellery was known for its intricate patterns, delicate filigree work, and use of precious gemstones. It was also prized for its symbolic significance, as jewellery was often used to convey messages of wealth, power, and status.
