A Roman gold and carnelian intaglio ring with the head of a woman

Item Details

Description

A Roman gold and carnelian intaglio ring with the head of a woman
Circa 1st-2nd Century A.D.
Engraved with the profile head of a young woman wearing earrings, her hair dressed with an ivy wreath, possibly a maenad, intaglio 1.2cm high, ring size P, 3.7g
Footnotes:
Provenance:
With Petit Musée, Montreal.
Harry Toulch Collection, Montreal, acquired from the above in 1995.

Condition

The intaglio appears to be intact with some minor wear including scratching to the surface. The engraving of the head is well preserved.
There is some overall surface wear to the ring including slight scratching with a few small spots of reddish encrustation. There is a line which is either a stress crack or deep scratch at the top of the hoop near the bezel, but it is visible on the outer side only and does not seem to be a repair.
Overall the ring is well preserved.
