Hellenistic Gold and Agate Cameo Ring
Item Details
Description
Greek, Macedonia, ca. 1st century BCE. Truly one of the finest pieces of ancient jewelry we have seen from this region. From Macedonia - home of Alexander the Great, but ruled at this time by the Romans, an almost pure gold ring (tested on our XRF at 98% pure) of slightly oval form, flat table in which an agate and white cameo was set. The cameo shows a beautiful portrait of a lady in profile, her features in high relief, her hair in ringlets down her cheek, possibly a bow tied at the rear. Size: 1" W x 1" H (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm), and measures a US size 6-1/4, weighing 8.7 grams.

Macedonian, ca 1st C BCE

Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection, ex La Reine Margot, Paris, France
