Roman Lion-motif Intaglio Ring—1st/2nd Century
Ring adorned with a circular intaglio made of two-tone glass paste imitating nicolo, depicting a lion in profile.
The contrast between the different layers of glass evokes the stratified stones sought after in ancient glyptics. This type of glass imitation is well documented from the Roman period, particularly for reproducing the appearance of nicolo.
The intaglio is set on a metal ring of simple design.
