Talisman ring, Iraq
Very rare!
Engraved Hebrew names: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moshe Aharon, Yosef and David;
plus the acronyms for the biblical verse "I await your salvation, O Lord" and the invocation, "G-d of [Rabbi] Meir, answer me" and the name "Ezra ben Shira, " who is the biblical Ezra the Scribe, whose tomb is in Iraq - this being the reason his name appears on the ring.
Iraq, 19th century
