ccg Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Probably Middle East / Persia. Characters on the right are Arabic = 37?7, which I believe would automatically rule out BC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoRnholio Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Cool ring. I used to collect ancient/medieval rings myself. Still have a number of them. From what I could gather in my short time collecting them, these types of rings had designs that reused for centuries. Makes it pretty hard to pinpoint a certain century/dynasty/emperor/etc that it might have been made during. Here's a couple as I don't have pics of most of them. The scorpion intaglio I no longer have and wish I had kept. The patina was a very nice dark green color, the size was about a 6, too small for even my pinky. Was sold as a greek ~2nd century BC piece. No idea how accurate that description is, but still a cool ring. This other ring I still have and is my favourite. Wearable size 9 1/2 nice patina and neat Crusader looking cross. Was found in modern day Bulgaria/Turkey, approx 11th-13th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
