Descrizione

A greek hellenistic gold ring set with an amethyst intaglio. Maltese dog.

4th - 3rd century B.C.

int diam 13 mm; intaglio 4x6 mm; 2,35 gr.

The animal is facing left. The well-executed details of its anatomy indicate that it is a Maltese dog. The uncommon subject is represented on certain scaraboid gems of Graeco-Persian production from the end of the classical age. In this case, the choice of a small amethyst cabochon places the gem in the Hellenistic era. This ring was intended for a child as revealed by the small size of the gold frame. Slight signs of wear. Rare.
