Antique Silver Glass Intaglio

An insanely chunky antique Silver ring (XRF tested) set with a remarkably executed glass intaglio of 9th century Anglo Saxon King Alfred the Great

The wonderfully precise execution of the King’s profile starkly contrasts the naturalistic rub-over setting and unevenness of the thick shank

The intaglio remains securely set and without movement

The surface of the glass is abraded and lightly chipped

A truly unashamedly unique piece
