Description

A roman carnelian intaglio set in an ancient gold ring. Warrior.

1st - 2nd century A.D.

Stone 9 x 13 mm; ring size 14 mm; 1,18 gr.


The figure is depicted in a reclined position, on the ground, and leans on a shield with his left arm, while with his right hand he touches another shield on top of an armor, with a shield.
