Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. 304 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 37 cm. Issued in a slip case. 'The Nasser D. Khalili Collection contains a remarkable group of more than 600 finger rings from the Islamic world and beyond. These rings provide a rare opportunity to survey the history of this form in the Middle East and southern Asia over the last two millennia, for the oldest examples are two Hellenistic glass rings from the second or first century B.C., while the most recent dated specimen is a signet made in India in 1920. This wealth of evidence has allowed the author to present a typology of Islamic rings within a broad chronological framework, and the color illustrations standard to the series have been supplemented by several drawings of each ring.'.
