Ca. 1200 AD. A gold ring of flat section hoop, expanding gracefully at the shoulders, is embellished with intricate incised designs that reflect the era's cultural and artistic influences. The ring's large hexagonal bezel is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. Adorned with a quatrefoil design, the bezel is both bold and elegant, creating a harmonious and balanced whole. The quatrefoil design is a symbol of the four elements, representing balance and harmony in nature, while the hexagonal shape is often associated with perfection and completion, reflecting the Seljuk era's emphasis on symmetry and proportion. Seljuk gold jewellery was renowned for its intricate designs, and the use of precious gemstones. The Seljuks were known for their love of beauty and their appreciation of the rare and precious materials they worked with, and this ring is a testament to that enduring legacy.Size: D: 14.56mm / US: 3 5/8 / UK: G 1/2; 9.03gProvenance: Property of a London Islamic art specialist collector; previously in a collection formed since the 1980s.
