A PAIR OF LARGE EARLY ISLAMIC ROCK CRYSTAL BEADS OR VESSEL STOPPERS
Ca. 12th - 13th century AD. A pair of finely worked rock crystal objects of cylindrical facetted form. Each piece is meticulously carved and polished, with a central perforation suggesting its use as either beads, vessel stoppers, or components of a larger object, such as a rosary (misbaha) or an inlaid element in a high-status artifact. The slightly irregular surfaces, natural inclusions, and subtle signs of wear reflect both the organic nature of the material and its careful shaping by a skilled artisan.Size: 40-45mm x 25-30mm; Weight: 135gProvenance: Previous property of a UK based Islamic art professional.
