A roman dark red carnelian partially burnt intaglio, mounted on a modern gold ring. Esculape and Hygieia.
intaglio 13 x 18 mm; diam. 22 mm circa; gr. 20,73
The god of medicine, on the left, is standing and holding the scepter on which the snake is twisted; to the right, a feminine draped figure, identifiable with Hygieia, holds out a cup from which a small snake comes out. The scene is taken from some roman marble reliefs. The cult of Hygieia is closely associated with her father's Asclepius. Hygieia is invoked to prevent illness and physical damage; Asclepius for the treatment of diseases and the restoration of lost health. Medical gem used as a protective amulet for good health and against bad luck. Attractive stone color with the surface slightly burnt (contributing to having a better reading of the subject). 19th century mounting in massive gold and with generous dimensions.
2nd-3rd century AD.
