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. The iconography and the engraving style find several comparisons in to gold and silver rings of Greek manufacturing of 4th century B.C. 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. Early Bronze Age to Late Classical, p. 229, form n.729-730; p. 301 form n. 773, 784. Intaglio mm 11 x 10 x 6; ring diam. mm 19; gr. 7,30
Late 4th – early 3rd century B.C.
