It is often depicted in the shape of either a pentagram or a hexagram. In religious lore, the ring is variously described as having given Solomon the power to command the supernatural, including shedim and jinn, and also the ability to speak with animals. Due to the proverbial wisdom of Solomon, it came to be seen as an amulet or talisman, or a symbol or character in medieval magic and Renaissance magic, occultism, and alchemy.

The seal is the predecessor to the Star of David, a Jewish symbol, and in modern vexillology, it features on the Flag of Israel. The pentagram on the Flag of Morocco also represents the seal.[1] The Seal of Solomon was also depicted on the flag of Nigeria during British colonial rule.[2]

The date of origin legends surrounding the Seal of Solomon is difficult to establish. A legend of a magic ring with which the possessor could command demons was already current in the 1st century (Josephus[4](8.2) telling of one Eleazar who used such a ring in the presence of Vespasian), but the association of the name of Solomon with such a ring is likely medieval notwithstanding the 2nd century apocryphal text the Testament of Solomon. The Tractate Gittin (fol. 68) of the Talmud has a story involving Solomon, Asmodeus, and a ring with the divine name engraved: Solomon gives the ring and a chain to one Benaiahu son of Jehoiada to catch the demon Ashmedai, to obtain the demon's help to build the temple; Ashmedai later tricks Solomon into giving him the ring and swallows it.[b]

The seal appears profusely in the decoration of the 17th-century Catholic Sacromonte Abbey, in Granada, Spain, as a symbol of wisdom.[14] The Seal of Solomon was also discovered in Palestine during the Ottoman period, when it was etched in stone above windows and doors and on Muslim tombs. A few examples were found in houses in Saris and on graves in Jaffa.[15]

In Islamic eschatology, some believe that the Beast of the Earth, which should appear near the Last Judgment day, will come bearing "the Seal of Solomon", and will use the latter to stamp the noses of the unbelievers.[17]

At first, Khaba and his subordinate closely supervise the stages of construction but after a while they stop showing up at the building site and the attitudes of the djinn grow lax. They begin assuming nonhuman forms and start using magic to build the temple (both actions directly in violation of Solomon's edicts). Several days later, Solomon makes an unexpected appearance on the building site. The other djinn manage to revert to human form and disguise their use of magic but Bartimaeus is caught in the form of a pygmy hippopotamus in a skirt (a comic reference to one of Solomon's 700 wives, "the one from Moab"). The king interrogates Bartimaeus and the djinni reluctantly admits his guilt while covering for the other spirits. As Solomon prepares to use the Ring on Bartimaeus, the djinni resorts to grovelling to appease the king. Bartimaeus's pathetic display amuses Solomon, who agrees to spare the djinni's life and instead punishes him (and Khaba, whom Solomon blames for failing to keep his spirits in line) by sending them to hunt down the local bandits.

They encounter the king in his observatory and Asmira stabs him with her dagger, only to discover that it is an illusion set up to trap them. Bartimaeus escapes, but Asmira is captured and taken before the true King Solomon. Meanwhile, Bartimaeus encounters the trapped afrit Philocretes and learns the secret behind Solomon and the Ring, that it causes immense pain to the bearer, in this case King Solomon. He then sneaks into the chamber where Solomon is interrogating Asmira and steals the Ring. Asmira takes the Ring from him, only to discover that its energies indeed inflict pain upon whoever touches it or uses it. Solomon then maintains that he never sent any ransom demand to Sheba, which causes Asmira to doubt herself and her loyalty to Queen Balkis. In the end, Asmira refrains from killing the king, choosing instead to take the Ring back to Sheba in spite of Solomon's warnings and Bartimaeus' demoralising analysis of her motives. Suddenly Khaba arrives, subdues both girl and djinni and claims the Ring for himself. Khaba commands the Spirit of the Ring to destroy several of his rival magicians as well as Solomon's palace, but Asmira manages to use her last throwing knife to slice off Khaba's finger, with the ring still on it, and commands Bartimaeus to throw it into the sea. Although weakened by his use of the Ring, Khaba attempts to destroy both Asmira and Solomon, who manage to hold off Khaba's other servants for a brief time.

Meanwhile, Bartimeaus has fled the palace with the powerful Ammet in hot pursuit. The two eventually reach the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and, Bartimaeus dips the ring in the sea, fulfilling his command. In an unexpected move, he then puts the Ring on and commands the Spirit to seal Ammet inside a wine jar at the bottom of the sea for a few thousand years. Returning to Jerusalem, Bartimaeus knocks out Khaba and returns the Ring to Asmira who gives it back to Solomon. The king imprisons Khaba and pardons both Asmira and Bartimaeus for their deeds. Solomon then summons Queen Balkis to Jerusalem and clears up the misunderstanding. However, a spiteful Balkis disowns her loyal guard from her service. Solomon then offers Asmira the opportunity to work for him instead.

Solomon's Rings (, Soromon no Yubiwa?, localized as "Seal of SolomonWP"GO) are a set of ten rings given to Solomon by God. They manifest in the capacity of a Skill, Solomon's Rings, for Heroic Spirit Solomon and Beast Goetia. Nine of the rings were returned to God by Solomon in life, but one ring remained and eventually was acquired by Marisbury Animusphere.

Possession of all ten rings grants the user complete control over all magecraft performed by mankind, allowing for its complete nullification.[1] Described as granting Solomon "true omnipotence," their functions were only utilized a single time in life.[2] The rings must all be together for the Noble Phantasm Ars Nova to be utilized.[2] Within the context of the gameplay of Fate/Grand Order, each ring grants a separate buff for the user or debuff for an enemy.[3]

The ten rings were granted to Solomon after God granted him "true wisdom," the mark of a wise man approved by God. Later going on to be called Solomon's Rings, they were known as the origin of magecraft employing the use of angels and demons.[1] Having only utilized the rings once in his life, Solomon, at the end of his life, returned all but one of them to Heaven of his own free will. On God's command, the remaining was instead sent to the future for unknown purposes, assumed by Solomon to be a whim. It was eventually obtained by Marisbury Animusphere after being dug up, utilizing it as a Catalyst to summon Solomon as a Servant. After Solomon and Marisbury won the Holy Grail War and Solomon wished to be human, the newly reborn Romani Archaman kept the ring on him.[2]

Goetia manifested with the other nine rings, replacing the missing ring with a replica. When Romani confronted Goetia and revealed his true identity as Solomon and all ten rings were once again gathered, Solomon used Ars Nova to defeat Goetia.[2] Goetia, taking on a human form, utilized the ten rings in a final battled with Ritsuka Fujimaru. After his final defeat, the rings were left behind in the Singularity, reduced to only the throne on which Goetia sat.[4] The rings remained on the throne for a year, until someone approached the throne and retrieved at least one of them.[5]

The pictures don't do this ring justice. They're much more beautiful in person and exceeded my expectations. I purchased 3 rings and I will be back for more. Thank you for such beautiful craftsmanship!

Actually I like it very much. Good quality for the price with amazing detail. Arrived much quicker than was advised. The ring is adjustable. Just like in the photo. Looks very nice in the light. Got a really peaceful vibe when I put it on. Thanks.CUSTOMER REVIEW -JACEK MIELNIK

The ring I received looks almost like the one pictured. The one in the picture definitely has more details. Either way I'm happy with my purchase and enjoy the ring I just wish it looked exactly like the picture used.

The Qur'an, Rabbinic lore, and extrabiblical texts like the "Wisdom of Solomon" depict a very different version of Solomon, though: wielder of magic, subjugator of djinn, sitter on a throne of robot animals, and rider of a flying eagle who carried him to visit fallen angels chained to stone, Prometheus style. And he had a magic ring.

The "Testament of Solomon" starts with (deep breath, people) a demon sucking the lifeforce, and half the salary, out of the right thumb of one of the children building Solomon's temple. It continues with Solomon receiving a magic ring from the archangel Gabriel, holding court with demonic entities like Asmodeus, prophetically learning of a vast celestial conspiracy, and eventually betraying God to have sex with a pretty lady. And if this whole "magic ring slash demon interviews slash celestial conspiracy slash god-betraying sex" story doesn't sound prime time enough, its details boggle the mind.

Per eClass, we've got: "the doglike demon, Scepter" sealed using an "emerald stone" and Solomon's ring; a "three-headed dragon spirit, Head of the Dragons" who "ascended at the 'Place of the Skull;'" "Enepsigos, the female demon with two heads" who has a "thwarting angel" Raphael, and whom Solomon seals with a "triple-link chain;" "Kunopegos, the cruel sea-horse demon" who gets sealed in a bowl; "thirty-six heavenly bodies, their heads like formless dogs," with names like Kairoxanondalon, Saphthorael, and Rhyx Axesbut; the beautiful "Onoskelis," who has mule legs and seduces "honey-colored" men because they are "of the same constellation;" "Lix Tetrax," who crawls like a snail and sets fields on fire; "Adarkes, king of Arabia," who recruits Solomon to fight the "wind spirit" Ephippas, and pages upon pages more. be457b7860
