Descrizione

A late roman gold ring with filigree set with a nicolo intaglio. Apollo.

3rd - 4th century A.D.

Stone 12 x 16 mm; ring size 17,5 x 19 mm; 8,62 gr.

Hoop composed of a fluted band of gold, with a beaded wire on either side of it. These wires branch outwards at the shoulders, and the spaces thus formed are filled with double spirale in wire, with globules interspersed. The bezel is formed by an oval nicolo intaglio in gold setting. The intaglio depicts the god Apollo standing naked, with crossed-legs, his right arm leaning on a column, his hand holding an olive branch, meanwhile his left hand rests on his pelvis. Beautiful conservation of the ring and quality of the stone. Parallel: Marshall, F.H., Catalogue of the finger rings, British Museum, 1968, Pl.XXII, 868-869

Provenance: the lot was purchased in the english art market 1990s.
