A roman gold ring set with a three-layered agate intaglio. bucrane.


1st - 2nd century A.D.


Rounded hoop with broader shoulders and rounded box-setting containing a three-layered agate intaglio. Bucrane seen in front with garlands. The mounting presents some shocks and the box-setting seems to be wider than the intaglio. Although both elements are genuine and ancient, the mounting does not seem belonging to the intaglio. 



Stone diam. 8 mm; ring size diam. 18 mm; 3,71 gr.
