A roman onyx cameo set in a gold ring. Frontal mask of Medusa.

Typical late roman stylized Medusa mask, with the snakes around the face and the winged head. The shank would appear to be deliberately "split" to make the size adjustable. Slight wear marks.
Stone 10 x 11 mm; mounting 13 x 15; ring size 12 x 13 mm; 2,17 gr.
