Description
A silver ring with a wide, massive shank and a pointed central plate formed by the combination of four triangular sections. Each triangular section of the front plate is richly decorated with granulation, creating a pronounced textured surface. Granulated ornament is also applied on both sides of the central part of the shank, while a lattice pattern occupies the middle section. The geometric arrangement of the decoration emphasizes the form of the central plate and gives the ring a distinctive relief. The ring is of historical-ethnographic and artistic interest as an example of traditional 20th-century jewelry craftsmanship.
