Silver, intaglio cornelian, IranDescription:Monumental signet ring with a nice intaglio of Alexander the Great which was used by notables to sign: the refinement of the body of the ring and the size of this object are something special! Needless to say, this ring is more a piece than a truly wearable ring ...The intaglio is most probably older than the body itself which is fairly recent...Weight:133,40grwww.halter-ethnic.com...
