Description

A roman red jasper intaglio, mounted in an ancient gold ring. Victory. The winged and draped figure is standing up, turned to the left, holding a laurel wreath in her left hand and a long palm branch in the right one. An intaglio made with great competence, an excellent rendering of all details, of a classic taste. The refined engraving is characterized by deep carving, which gifts the work with a remarkable sculptural sensibility. The ring hoop is made of a double and conjoined thread-like element, (with a superimposed third one, dotted), which divide as they get close to the bezel, each of them ending by grainy decorations (creating four "rosettes"). Light wear marks and small dents on the set. Attractive stone colour. First half of the 1st century A.D.
Intaglio 10 x 13 x 2 mm; ring diam. 12 x 13 mm; gr. 3,84.
