Ornament and Amulet: Rings of the Islamic Lands


Add your own review!

Overview

The Nasser D. Khalili Collection contains a remarkable group of more than 600 finger rings from the Islamic world and beyond. These rings provide a rare opportunity to survey the history of this form of jewellery in the Middle East and southern Asia over the last two millennia. Two of the oldest examples are two Hellenistic glass rings from the 2nd or 1st century BC, while the most recent dated specimen is a signet made in India in 1920. This volume presents the typology of Islamic rings within a broad chronological framework, and colour illustrations have been supplemented by several drawings of each ring.
