Persian, circa 9th-10th century A.D.
A Sassanian gold ring, consisting of a solid-cast hoop, with hammered ends soldered to the underside of the bezel, the bezel decorated with a border of gold dots and a larger gold ball at one end, with a slightly later oval carnelian with Kufic engraving, which reads as an inscription for 'Ali bin al-Husayn', ring size: P.
Literature: For a similar, though less attractive example of an Islamic ring complete with Kufic inscription, see one now housed in the Ashmolean Museum (Acc. no. EAX.3100),
Provenance: Private collection UK, acquired between 1960 and 1980.
