拍品描述
A CORUNDUM-SET GOLD ‘FLOWERS AND BIRD’ PRIEST’S RING
Indonesia, Bali, 19th to early 20th century. The gold ring with a conical bezel surmounted by a corundum cabochon, held by a beak-shaped brace, the bezel with intricate granular decorations.

Provenance
: From the private collection of a diplomat in England, and thence by descent to the last owner.
Condition: Good condition with some old wear, one brace missing, traces of use and some manufacturing irregularities.

Weight: 3.8 g
Dimensions: Height 2.2 cm

Goldsmiths in Bali are masters of the granulation technique. Small gold grains are delicately soldered to the ring surface to create intricate designs. A gold strip is additionally folded over the primary gem, holding the stone and forming a collar around it. This lot is a remarkable example of the southern Balinese style, with the birds' beaks serving as prongs to hold the ruby stone (one of two missing), a concept known from the Majapahit Empire that flourished in the 14th century.
