Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. A lovely and solid cast-bronze finger ring of a signet form, the oval-shaped face showing signs of a schematized geometric motif with two looped designs and three thin lines diverging from one another; the image as a whole is difficult to interpret. Graceful areas of blue and blue-green patina envelop the surfaces of this wearable reminder of ancient Roman fashion! Size: 0.875" Diameter (2.2 cm); US ring size 8.

Provenance: private east coast of Florida, USA collection; ex-old French collection, Paris, France, acquired 1977 to 1987
