Rare Hellenistic intaglio in garnet set on a bronze ring. Dionysus.

Rare and attractive Hellenistic garnet intaglio, set on an original bronze ring; traces of gold. Bust of a young Dionysus, depicted frontally. The head is surrounded by a band and it is adorned with vine leaves and grapes and the bust is covered by a cloak, tied in the center. The rounded face of the god is placed in the center of the circular stone.

High stone and deep engraving carving produce a tridimensional effect. Presence of globular elements. Very good conditions. Reference: John Boardman, Greek gems and finger rings.
