An Islamic Silver Carnelian Agate Calligraphic Seal Ring.

A substantial Islamic seal ring set with an oval carnelian agate plaque, finely engraved with Arabic calligraphy arranged in horizontal bands. The warm honey-orange stone displays natural translucency and subtle internal striations, with the inscription deeply and confidently carved across the polished surface. The agate is mounted within a high silver setting featuring pronounced clawed edges and sculptural, flowing shoulders that extend into an openwork band. The mount is robust and decorative, with curved, organic forms and pierced detailing to the sides.
