This handsome Islamic silver signet ring has the name of an individual inscribed on its flat surface. The ancient artist who created this work of art has successfully combined material, form and function. The beautiful Arabic inscription, with its rhythmical lines combines with the curvilinear shape of the ring to form a perfect balance of scale and proportion. Whose hand did this ring adorn? What stories might he tell us if he were alive today? His dreams and deeds remain a mystery but the signature of his unique existence lives on in this most personal of rings.
