Vertaling bekijkenOud-Romeins IJzer Ring met agaat intaglio
Nr. 90349435
A fine Ancient Roman brown agate intaglio set in a ferrous bezel of a ring that now broke off. The intaglio depicts mirrored figural scene with two figures in floor-length robes, each supporting a cornucopia, facing each other and holding hands. Above them, two profile busts with radiate crowns are floating. Between the two figures, possibly two Fortuna's, is an inscription that reads 'MIA'. The oval bezel has corroded with age, with some tarnish transfering onto the agate. The piece is supplied with museum quality impression.
In Ancient Roman society, jewellery was an essential accessory, providing the wearer with a public display of their wealth, social status, and identity. Roman jewellery at first followed the trends set by the Etruscans, employing the use of gold and glass beads. As the power and spread of the Roman Empire increased, jewellery designs became increasingly elaborate, utilising the many different materials, techniques, and styles found across the expanding empire, particularly from Greece, Egypt, North Africa, and the Orient. Rings were widely worn by men, women, and children, across the empire, with some rings having a practical use, such as signets, whilst others purely for decoration.
Measurements: W 2.3cm x H 1.4cm
Provenance: From a Swiss collection, 1980s onwards. Property of a North London, UK, gentleman.
