Peacock Ring, 1–200 CE, Seleucia, Parthian Empire (247 BCE–224 CE)

Peacock Ring, 1–200 CE, Seleucia, Parthian Empire (247 BCE–224 CE). Gold and chalcedony. Diameter: 1.8 x 2.3 x 1 cm. The Cleveland Museum of Art, Joint Expeditions-Iraq Excavations Fund 1933.191.

 

Made of gold inset with chalcedony, a type of quartz, this simple yet elegant signet ring has timeless appeal. A skilled artisan carved a peacock into the oval stone creating an emblem that would have had personal meaning for the owner.
