Description
Ca. 100-200 AD.
A stunning gold finger ring of a flat-section hoop with nicely decorated shoulders and a bezel set with a carnelian intaglio depicting a left-facing female bust, flanked by quiver and arrows. The latter led to identifying this female portrait as a depiction of the Roman goddess Diana (Greek Artemis). In Roman art, Diana usually appears as a huntress with a bow and quiver, accompanied by a hound or deer.
