Description
A postclassical carnelian intaglio set in a gold revival ring. Female figure with torch.
Probably 19th century (?)
intaglio: 20 x 26 mm ; ring: diam. 18 mm ; 17.78 gr
The female figure advances to the left, turning her head in profile backwards to the right. She wears a tunic that adheres to the body for the wind, which also raises a veil. With both hands she holds burning torches. Allegorical subject (perhaps referred to Diana Lucifera), probably executed in the post classical era. Signs of wear. The gem is mounted in an Etruscan style setting, adorned with two gorgona masks chiseled on the triangular shoulders of the ring. Fine condition.
