Mixed lot (5 items), Tibet, Afghanistan, North Africa: five finger rings made of silver, partly gilded and set with coral, carnelians and glass.
A so-called ‘saddle ring’ from Tibet, made of silver and set with a red coral stone. Two rings from the Tekke Turkmens in Afghanistan, made of silver with fire gilding. Set with cut carnelian stones as well as blue and green glass. Two shiny silver rings, one crafted as a sort of ‘signet ring’, the other decorated with an engraved ‘pentagram’ as a protective symbol. Probably from North Africa.
Between c. 1900 and the first third of the 20th century. (ME)

Viennese private collection.
