Medieval Holy Lands Silver Ring with Script
Ca. 1100 AD
Ca. 1100 AD, Seljuk period. Silver ring with round hoop and applied, circular bezel bearing Arabic script. The Seljuks were a Turkic dynasty who swept out of Central Asia in the early 10th century and conquered an enormous expanse, covering most or all of present-day Turkmenistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey and beyond. After inflicting crushing military defeats on a host of rivals, the most famous of which was perhaps that against the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071, the Seljuk sultans became major patrons of art and architecture. This ring may have been a seal or a symbol of the faith of a Seljuk official, merchant or warrior. Good condition Size: D:16mm/L:19mm; 2g. Provenance: From an old British collection, acquired on the UK art market in the 1970s.
