Roman Gold Ring With Intaglio

Roman gold ring with gold intaglio and carnelian intaglio Weight: 6.4 grams Size: 60 The construction of this ring is technically very complete. The ring is made up of a flat central band flanked by two twisted wires. This ring is welded to a plate cut in the shape of a star. On this plate, a drum assembly enshrines the carnelian intaglio. Finally, a meticulous decoration of pyramid granulations adorns the perimeter of the kitten as well as the shoulders of the ring. The "baroque" style of the ring indicates a production of the 3rd - 4th century.
