Description
Gilt bronze, size 3 for wear on the small finger between the first two joints as was the custom. 2.8mm deeply rounded face band with thickened bottom in the Roman fashion. Truncated hexagonal section cone, the facets chiseled with bands ribs (similar to the prostitute's pendants of the period) superficially imitating a gemstone and blatantly advertising the intentions of the wearer. Roman prostitutes were typically adolescents, largely slaves. Prostitution was practiced openly with brothels sometimes sharing doors with libraries. Professionally refurbished with the pure silver surface restored. See the reference image which shows the process. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity. Rare variation and exceptional quality for these.
