Publisher: Penguin Books; 2003) ISBN: 0142003697. In 1508. Despite ... morestrong advice to the contrary, the powerful Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the newly restored Sistine Chapel. With little experience as a painter(though famed for his sculpture David) Michelangeo was reluctant to begin the massive project. Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling recounts the four extraordinary years Michelangelo spent laboring over the vast ceiling while the power politics and personal rivalries that abounded in Rome swirled around him. Battling against ill health, financial difficulties, domestic problems, the pope's impatience, and a bitter rivalry with the brilliant young painter Raphael, Michelangelo created scenes so beautiful that they are considered to be among the greatest masterpieces of all time. A panorama of illustrious figures converged around the creation of this magnificent work, from the great Dutch scholar Erasmus to the young Martin Luther. Ross King skillfully weaves them through his compelling historical narrative, offering uncommon insight into the intersection of art and history. CONDITION: NEW. Unblemished except VERY slight edge/corner wear and rubbing to the covers. Just the normal slight wear expected in a new book caused by the book being shelved next to others. VERY minimal wear consistent with new stock from an open-shelf book store. Pages are pristine; clean. Crisp, unmarked, unmutilated, tightly bound, unambiguously unread. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Ancient Medieval Bronze Pentagram Ring; very rare and unique!
Up for bids here is a very unique Pentagram ring from the early medieval period that is not like most of the ones out there that I have seen in the past. This one has small dots in and around the pentagram and on the sides. The ring measures 21mm in diameter. This could have some connections to the Knight's Templar but I cannot confirm this and this is only speculation at this point. But the possibilities are there considering the period and the style of this particular ring. And the side markings; which make this one rare, as they appear to be of the same type found on some Templar rings and other jewelry. Pentagrams have a very long history and is one of the oldest symbols in the ancient world. One like this one is rather rare because of the markings on the sides.

Ancient Ptolemaic Kingdom Wedjat Eye Amulet Bronze Ring 300-200 BC
About The Greek Jewelry Greek jewelry. Etruscan jewelry and other Italian jewelry made in the time between about 850 BC and about 500 BC(called the archaic period, was inspired and greatly influenced by Egyptian and Assyrian examples brought by Phoenician merchants who were crisscrossing the Mediterranean Sea by this time. The techniques remained basically the same as the earlier Egyptian and Assyrian styles though embossed or stamped plates of gold and silver became a predominant basic element. Granulation in gold continued and was developed in Etruria to a remarkable degree of delicate refinement. In the Classical Greek period. 5th and 4th centuries BC(480 BC– 338 BC) granulation went out of fashion. Enameling was re-introduced and filigree became predominant. Classic Greek jewelry was delicate and very refined. In the Classical period ... moreof ancient Greek jewelry manufacture there was little jewelry actually made in Greece itself but so splendid is its quality and technical prowess that it is considered to be miniature sculpting. And a fine expression of the breadth of the artistic creations of this `Golden Age' Flowers and tassels were a common motif for gold chain necklaces, and hoop earrings held delicate filigree discs and rosettes. Such pieces are available to the modern day collector. During the Hellenistic Age(330-27 BC) After the conquests of Alexander the Great, rather opulent gold pieces with precious and semi-precious stones became popular. Greek jewellery design and manufacture was influenced by the"new" of Oriental influences of the conquered lands as well as a revival of interest in Egyptian themes and styles. Greek jewelry of the Hellenistic Age saw small gold workings fashioned into pendant vases. Little delicate winged victories, cupids, and doves becoming common motifs. At the same time, an important innovation into Greek jewelry manufacture was the introduction of quite large colored stones, especially garnets, as a center-piece of designs.

Band Thickness: 4mm. DETAIL: Jade was extremely valuable in ancient China. There are records of an entire city being traded for a carved ornamental jade piece. Jade jewelry can be found in the tombs of Ancient China's emperors dating back to the 4th millennium B.C. One royal tomb contained an entire suit made out of jade, to assure the physical immortality of its owner. The Chinese regarded the gemstone as sacred, and believed that the secret virtue of jade was absorbed into the body. Here's a stunning, sumptuous, extraordinary variegated light green jade ring. Hand crafted from genuine jade from some of the world's finest jadeite deposits ... morein Burma(Myanmar) this is a beautiful piece of jewelry possessing very feminine and delicate appearance, though it is quite sturdy and should give years of pleasurable wearing enjoyment! No two pieces of jade are identical, so you can be sure that this ring is unique- there's only one like it. The jade is quite beautiful, a much sought after pale green, with occasional highlights of lighter material. A solid, magnificent, hand-crafted piece of gorgeous jade like this makes a truly impressive gift at an affordable price.

Magic Stone of Egypt’s Sun God Ra Ancient Greek Amulet Ring
Antique Genuine Natural Russian Two-Third Carat Faceted Vivid. Regal Green Topaz Heart. Contemporary High Quality Sterling Silver Ring(Size 6– Resizing Available) ORIGIN: The Ural Mountains. Siberia, Russia. CLASSIFICATION: Green Topaz Faceted Heart. SIZE: Diameter” 5mm. Depth: 3mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: 0.62 carats. NOTES: Resizing is available. 14kt solid gold setting is also available. DETAIL: In the Middle Ages it was believed that a topaz mounted in gold and worn around the neck would dispel enchantments and ward off death. Topaz was also used to treat medical ailments. Topaz powdered and drunk in wine was believed to cure asthma. Insomnia, burns and hemorrhages. Here’s a magnificent, sparkling, vibrantly hued green topaz semi-precious gemstone from the Ural Mountains of Russia. Gorgeous and vividly hued, this striking ... moresemi-precious gemstone is of very high quality and possesses breathtaking luster. It has been hand cut into a sparkling, brilliant, faceted heart cut semi-precious gemstone with lots of flash and depth. As you can see, this is an exceptionally good quality gemstone. Certainly to the eye it is nothing less than perfect, it is truly a beautiful, sumptuous, and regal-sized semi-precious gemstone. Though green topaz occurs naturally in Siberia. It generally tends to be a bit lighter in shade than is the case with this specimen. So I suspect that it’s likely(though not certain) that it was heat-treated. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a Russian artisan, part of a centuries-long heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. Under magnification the gemstone shows the unmistakable characteristics of having been hand crafted. The coarseness of the handcrafted finish is considered appealing to most gemstone collectors, and is not considered a detriment, or to detract from the value of a gemstone. These characteristics are not only expected of hand-finished gemstones, most ser

Ancient Celtic Knot Bronze Ring 450-600 AD
About The Celts The Celts(usually pronounced/ˈkɛlts/ but sometimes/ˈsɛlts) or Kelts were an ethno-linguistic group of tribal societies in Iron Age and Medieval Europe who spoke Celtic languages and had a similar culture. The earliest archaeological culture that may justifiably be considered as Proto-Celtic is the Late Bronze Age Urnfield culture of central Europe from the last quarter of the second millennium BC. Their fully Celtic descendants in central Europe were the people of the Iron Age Hallstatt culture named for the rich grave finds in Hallstatt. Austria By the later La Tène period, this Celtic culture had expanded over a wide range of regions, whether by diffusion or migration: to the British Isles(Insular Celts) France and The Low Countries(Gauls) Bohemia, Poland and much of Central Europe, the Iberian Peninsula(Celtiberians, ... moreCeltici and Gallaeci) and northern Italy(Golaseccans and Cisalpine Gauls) and following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC as far east as central Anatolia. About This Ring This lovely Ancient Celtic bronze ring is simply elegant yet it bears such a rich history of its people and its craft. This bronze beauty was made of a single thread of bronze wire. The single wire loops to form an elegant double band. With the rest of the wire wound into an intricately laced Celtic knot bezel.

Ancient Neo-Babylonian Ring with Lion Crescent and Star Motifs 609-520 BC
About The Roman Jewelry The Neo-Babylonian Empire or the Chaldean Empire was a period of Mesopotamian history which began in 626 BC and ended in 539 BC. During the preceding three centuries. Babylonia had been ruled by their fellow Akkadian speakers and northern neighbours, Assyria. Throughout that time Babylonia enjoyed a prominent status. The Assyrians had managed to maintain Babylonian loyalty through the Neo-Assyrian period, whether through granting of increased privileges, or militarily, but that finally changed in 627 BC with the death of the last strong Assyrian ruler, Assurbanipal, and Babylonia rebelled under Nabopolassar the Chaldean the following year. In alliance with the Medes, the city of Nineveh was sacked in 612 BC, and the seat of empire was again transferred to Babylonia. This period witnessed a great flourishing of architectural ... moreprojects, the arts and science. About This Ring* Pink stamp is a clay impression of the seal when stamped today.

Ancient Byzantine Silver Alloy Ring with Pink & White Glass Gem 500-600 AD
About The Byzantine Jewelry Byzantine jewelry was a full continuation of the Roman traditions which were kept alive behind the high walls of the new capital. Constantinople. The Roman techniques and styles continued to form the foundation of Byzantine goldsmith's skills who weren't complete copycats; some innovations such as the use of Christian iconography and further specialization of new and old techniques occurred. Production in the old jewelry centers of Alexandria and Antioch gave way to an increased production in Constantinople. Byzantine jewelry had a huge influence on the manufacturing of personal decoration in the rest of the medieval world. The Carolingian(early 742 AD) and the later Ottonian courts(start 962 AD) were linked to the Byzantine Empire and adopted their fashion resulting in the northern European Romanesque ... morejewelry style. In the Byzantine Empire jewelry played an important role. It acted as a way to express ones status and as a diplomatic tool. In 529 AD. Emperor Justinian took up laws regulating the wearing and usage of jewelry in a new set of laws, later to be called the Justinian Code. He explicitly writes that sapphires, emeralds and pearls are reserved for the emperor's use but every free man is entitled to wear a gold ring. This may tell us something about the widespread use and great popularity of jewelry. One could easily argue that there hadn't been a need for such a law if jewelry had been a purely aristocratic phenomenon. The Byzantine Empire was wealthy. It had gold mines within its borders and its geographical position was perfect for trade between the East and West. Successful traders. Military officers and high officials in the empire's administration would all have been in the position to afford luxurious jewelry. In an attempt to keep jewelry exclusive Justinian ruled that only he got to decide who wore the finest jewels by presenting his favorite'servants' with presents from the imperial workshops.

Ancient Roman Rare Black Glass Ring 100-200 AD
About The Roman Jewelry Apart from gold and other precious metals. Romans used glass to make their jewelry. Roman jewelry gives us an insight into the culture of this ancient country. Just like other ancient civilizations. Rome also had its distinct strata of social classes. In the Roman society, jewelry was worn for indicating the social status of a person and attaching pieces of clothing rather than beautification. Gold was used by the artisans and jewelers for carving the adornments and jewelry as it was believed to be the metal of the Gods and supposed to have descended from the sun. Other than gold, the materials used in jewelry making were bronze, Roman glass, bone beads and precious gemstones which were excavated from far off places like Persia, Far East, Indus Valley, etc. Diamonds, emeralds and sapphires found their way from the ... moresilk route to the Roman land to appease the rich and mighty of this civilization. About the Roman Rings Romans liked to wear big rings which drew attention and revealed the status of the wearer. A gold ring often contained a huge gemstone or Roman glass which was generally worn by the Senators and the bureaucrats. The common people referred as the Plebeians were allowed to wear only rings made of iron. However. Some Plebeians were awarded the right to wear the golden rings for their bravery or special service to the state. But gradually such stringent rules were relaxed during the reign of Justinian I. Women of ancient Rome were more inclined to wear multiple rings of varied materials and designs on their hands without the constraints of social classes. Roman Glass Roman jewelry has been described as an amalgamation of Eastern and Etruscan jewelry styles. Combining the use of colored stones favored in the East with manipulated goldwork typical of Etruscan jewelry. The Romans greatly favored the use of stone and glass in their jewelry, and expanded the Hellenistic tradition by foc

Ancient AD900Sz8 Medieval Roman Byzantine Macedonia Albania Bulgaria Flower Ring
Size 8 Genuine Ancient(Roman) Byzantine(Macedonian) Bronze Ring with Floral Pattern Bezel with Sculpted Bands 9th-11th Century A.D. CLASSIFICATION: Ancient Byzantine(Eastern Roman Empire) Bronze Ring. ATTRIBUTION: Eastern Roman Empire(Macedonia) 9th-11th Century A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Fits ring size 8(U.S. Diameter: 20 1/2mm(outer diameter) 18mm(inner diameter) Bezel: 18mm(diameter) Fixed 3 1/2mm Width Band. Weight: 4.08 grams. CONDITION: Excellent! Completely intact. Very light wear consistent with slight use, and little porosity(surface pitting caused by contact with earth while buried) Professionally conserved. DETAIL: A very well preserved bronze ring circa ninth to eleventh century A.D. from Byzantine(Roman) Macedonia. As you can see. The ring is very elegant in design. The ring is constructed by the very simply method of joining the ... morebands by brazing both ends to a bezel. This was a rather primitive technique as opposed to rings which were cast in one piece, bands and bezel unified and not created separately- much like the style of a contemporary ring. The bezel either mimics a flower(something looking like a sunflower) or is supposed to suggest a large central gemstone flanked by a circumferential perimeter of accent stones(the inspiration still a flower) The bands as you can see are sculpted with a raised beaded rope which embellishes the entire bezel. All of the metal work exhibits very fine workmanship, and is entirely intact- though it is obvious that the ring was worn in life. As mentioned the ring does show some moderate overall wear. But of course you must keep in mind that the ring was produced by an artisan and sold to a patron or consumer with the idea that the ring would be enjoyed and worn by the purchased. And without any regard to twenty-first century posterity, that precisely what happened! The original medieval owner of this ring wore it, enjoyed it, and probably never could have in his most delusional moment ever dreamed that fifty generations later the ring wo
