Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Sassanian Chalcedony Inscribed Ring, 1969

Beschreibung : 5th century AD. A chalcedony hair ring(?), accompanied by a museum-quality impression and a typed and signed scholarly note issued by the late A.D.H. Bivar, Professor of Iranian Studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, which states: 'The central aperture is too small for a male finger, which seems to exclude an archery ring. Engraved on the outside, a talismanic 'Gayomard' figure - - Gayomard is the archaeological 'label', but the subject seems to represent the constellation Orion, its talismanic significance is not clear. About A.D. 400 or later.' Cf. Bivar, A.D.H., Catalogue of Western Asiatic Seals: Stamp Seals: The Sassanian Dynasty, The British Museum, London, 1969, p.58, pl.6, cf. E.
