A PERSIAN CARNELIAN INTAGLIO SIGNET RING - An Islamic signet ring featuring an oval carnelian agate gemstone set within a silver mount. The gemstone is carved as an intaglio with calligraphic script in Nasta'liq or Shikasteh style, with the characters filled with a white substance to highlight the inscription. The central engraving contains characters reading سليمان (Suleiman) and علي (Ali). To the left of the script is an engraved decorative starburst rosette symbol. At the bottom edge of the stone, there are smaller characters, possibly a signature, reading partially as یغما (Yaghma) or similar, though not fully legible. The silver setting features a serrated pie-crust bezel with multiple individual prongs holding the stone. The shoulders of the ring are decorated with foliate or scrollwork chasing.
