CLASSIFICATION: Ancient Byzantine Macedonia Engraved Silver Ring. ATTRIBUTION: Eastern Roman Empire(Constantinople) Twelfth Century A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Fits ring size 7 1/4(U.S. Diameter: 19mm x 18 1/2mm(outer dimensions) 18mm x 17mm(inner diameter) Bezel: 12mm(height) 12mm(breadth) Fixed Width 2 1/2mm Band. Weight: 2.20 grams. CONDITION: Very Good! Completely intact. Moderately light wear evidenced consistent with ancient usage. Very faint porosity(surface pitting caused by contact with earth while buried) Professionally conserved. DETAIL: A very well preserved silver ring circa 9th or 10th century A.D. As you can see. The ring is very handsome and elegant in design. The"bezel" or face of the ring bears a very distinct abstract design, however though we’ve scrutinized the engraved design carefully, we’re unable to determine what it represents. Some believe it to be the abstract representation of a shaman’s face. However it seems most likely to be the abstract representation of two stags with antlers locked in combat. Given the cultural popularity of such depictions in the region during the ancient and medieval world, this seems most likely. This is a fairly light weight ring, more like a contemporary ring than the thick and lumpy rings often produced during the early years of the Roman Empire. It is a very handsome and complex design, and probably was a very significant personal possession of whomsoever originally owned the ring. There are unmistakable indications that the ring was worn fairly often by whomsoever the ancient owner was. But the ring is in no way“worn out” Before expressing dismay over the fact that the ring evidences some wear, you must keep in mind that the ring was produced by an artisan and sold to a patron or consumer wit

I was at the site where this items were dug from in the north border of Haiti and Dominican Republic. in 1981 One ... moreis a fertility God made of a softer stone. And the other one is a hand seed crusher, made of a very hard stone. One is approximately six inches long- and the other one is 5 inches in diameter A short history. This artifacts were bought in Port Bue Lemonade in the north shore a few miles of Cape Hatien. I was there doing a reportage on a Doctor. A Surgeon from Clearwater Florida, that once a year will visit the Albert Schweitzer hospital to do do cosmetic surgery on children's with Cleft Lip. On the day before returning to St. Petersburg. Fl. I saw a young man selling a rusted spanish musket- with my limited Spanish and French. I understood that his father was farming and pulling some of that stuff with his plow. I thought to do a short piece. And asked him to take me to his father. There at the end of the field was a small thatched roof hut. And inside there were a number of artifacts- all to big to carry back home in my camera bag- well, not rto waist the trip, and to make the young man happy, I bought the two smallest pieces i could afford. And here they are. They ARE ORIGINAL_ NO COPIES. I HAD TO CLEAN THE MUD AND DIRT FROM THEM. I'm retired from the newspaper business. And this artifacts have been in a box since then. I'm cleaning all the memorabilia, and this ones are looking for a better home or museum. Cheers. Ask lots of questions. PayPal only please. I'll ship world wide.Insured.

$16.99 Shipping Location: Lummi Island,WA,USA TRANSLATE Arabic Chinese French German Greek Indonesian Italian Hindi Japanese Korean Swedish Portuguese Russian Spanish Very Nicely Preserved. Very Beautiful, ... moreLarge, Genuine 16th-17th Century Ming Dynasty Chinese“Famille Rose” Glazed Ceramic Plate. Perfect as a Candy or Change Dish for Work or Home. CLASSIFICATION: Famille Rose Style Ceramic Footed Plate. ATTRIBUTION: Ancient China. Ming Dynasty, Between 1600 and 1700 A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Diameter: 111 millimeters(4 3/8 inches) at top rim; 63 millimeters(2 1/2 inches) at base. Height: 34 millimeters(1 3/8 inches) CONDITION: Fairly good. A couple of small rim chips, a little porcelain chipping inside the bowl. A little wear consistent with any household item which is between three and four centuries in age. The typical blemishes of hand production(warts and dimples, zits and pits) Not flawless, but certainly in an excellent state of preservation. DETAIL: A fairly well preserved. Footed“famille rose” porcelain plate so wonderfully characteristic of the very popular export Ming and Qing Dynasty porcelain china. The particular style was extremely popular both in England and Europe throughout the 16th to 19th centuries, as well as in the USA during the 1800’s. This piece is a wonderful example of this very famous produce. The glaze is mostly intact, though there’s a little porcelain chipping to the surface of the plate, as well as a few rim chips(visible in the photographs) However considering its age, it’s actually in pretty good condition(you or I should look so good when we’re four centuries old! There is of course a collection of minor scuffs, marks, dings, etc. all virtually undetectable. However this is really about as good as one can reasonably expect of a household artifact which was originally produced in the 1600’s. It’s not perfect, but it is in reasonably nice condition, and there are no repairs. Of course realistically one would expect some blemishes of a porcelain plate produced four hundred years ago. So there are no surprises he

Exceptionally Well Preserved ... moreGenuine 19th Century Qing Dynasty Chinese Blue and White(Ming” Style) Porcelain Ink Well. CLASSIFICATION: Blue and White Porcelain Ink Well– Water Dropper. ATTRIBUTION: Ancient China. Qing Dynasty, 19th Century. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Length: 84 millimeters(3 3/8 inches) Breadth: 53 millimeters(2 1/8 inches) Height: 39 millimeters(1 5/8 inch) CONDITION: Exceptionally good. Exceptionally well preserved. A little wear consistent with any household item which is 150 or 200 years old. Some light glaze crackling/crazing typical of ancient porcelain and ceramics. Not flawless, but certainly in an excellent state of preservation. DETAIL: A very cute. Splendidly preserved traditional blue and white porcelain ink well so wonderfully characteristic of late Ming/early Qing Dynasty artwork. Formed in an oval shape with what looks like a bat(or perhaps a turtle) depicted atop the ink dropper. It is about the size of a very large Roma(egg-shaped) tomato, and bears a very cutely rendered depiction with dainty ears and gracefully shaped wings. The glaze is entirely intact, vibrant cobalt blue, and the condition of the ink well is virtually perfect. There is some“crazing” or“crackling” of the porcelain glaze, but this is entirely normal and is anticipated in antique/ancient ceramics and porcelain pieces. It is regarded a testament to the age of the piece, and no generally held to be detrimental unless it is excessive and to the point where the glaze is flaking off. As you can see here, the glaze is entirely intact and in wonderful condition. There is of course a little minor wear– we’re not saying it is as when new. But this is as good as one can reasonably expect of a porcelain ink well somewhere around 150 or 200 years old. It’s not perfect. But it is about as close to perfect as you will ordinarily find of an authentic 19th century desk accoutrement bottle l
