Item Details
Description
This distinguished Roman signet ring, featuring a carnelian intaglio, is a remarkable artifact from the 1st to the 4th century AD. The ring is a US size 6, showcasing the nuanced art of gemstone engraving practiced by Roman artisans. The intaglio is set in a solid bronze band, indicative of the period's metallurgical expertise. Carnelian was prized in antiquity for its warm, translucent hue and was often used for seals due to its hardness and fine surface. The intaglio on this ring features a detailed engraving, which would have served as a personal signature to seal and authenticate documents. This piece is not only a work of art but also a functional tool that provides a direct connection to the daily lives and sophisticated culture of the Roman people.
