Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. A stunning 24 karat gold ring set with a tri-colored glass intaglio presenting a navy blue striation bordered by slender white striations and two semi-circular teal sections - this pattern intended to represent banded agate which was not only a luxurious material but also challenging to carve. Finely incised over this is an image of a goddess riding a quadriga. The intaglio is set in a substantive 24 karat bezel with a beaded border all set to a delicate 24 karat gold shank. An impression of the intaglio imagery is included. Rare and quite beautiful. Size: intaglio measures .375" L x .25" W (1 cm x 0.6 cm); opening .75" in diameter (1.9 cm); US Ring size 5.5; total weight: 1.5 grams.
