Gold Renaissance Ring with Roman Agate Intaglio Depicting a Horse
Located in Chicago, IL
Renaissance ring with Roman horse intaglio
Ring: Western Europe, c. 1580-90, Roman intaglio: 1st century AD
Gold, champlevé enamel, nicolo agate
Weight 5.2 gr.; Circumference 57.15 mm.; US size 8; UK size Q
In the Renaissance period, ancient cameos and intaglios were highly sought-after collectors’ items. Wealthy owners had them incorporated into signet rings, and in this case, an exceptional and rare ring with sophisticated enameling.
The Roman intaglio reflects the spirit of Humanism during the Renaissance, when there was a revived interest in Classical literature and the arts. The horse motif was most likely the personal choice of the wearer or giver of this ring who would have been familiar with its meaning in Classical Antiquity as a symbol of wealth and power. In Ancient Greece images of horses denoted aristocratic status, were symbolic of heroism and the all-important cavalry. A grazing horse as seen here may have represented a favored racehorse.
Description:
Gold ring with D-section hoop widening towards the oval bezel, plain on the interior and on the exterior the shoulder is decorated in gold against black enamel with symmetrical foliate and floral motifs. The frieze-like decoration continues along the sides of the facetted bezel with dots, dashes and scrollwork, a triangular form with acanthus foliage and fine gold framing line along the base of the bezel with raised mount and fluted collet for a nicolo-agate intaglio. Carved into the bluish grey on brown surface is a grazing horse seen in profile, head bent low. On the underside of the bezel is an elaborate cross motif with scrolls in black enamel against gold. Minor loss of enamel in some areas, through age and wear. The ring is in good wearable condition.
Literature:
Similar elaborately enameled signet rings set with ancient intaglios or Imperial laureate heads can be found in the British Museum, London (Dalton 1912, no. 308); Tarnóczy Collection; Hanns-Ulrich Haedeke Collection.
The highly embellished enameling along the hoop and bezel of this exceptional and rare ring is reminiscent of the ornamental prints...

C1650 Medieval Silver Signet Ring Of Pelican in Her Piety and Religious Symbols
Located in Baltimore, MD
This rare silver ring dates from the 1600's and likely originates from Western Europe. The ring is cast in one piece, the intaglio is framed within a chased octagonal border and the band displays flared and chamfered edges at the shoulders, all features typical of the period.
The Pelican in Her Piety Medieval signet ring features strong cross cultural references with the engraving of the pelican and the navigation symbols of the moon and stars. Sixteenth and seventeenth century portraits show signet rings worn on the forefinger or thumb, to more easily press the ring to the wax with a simple turn of the hand. Albeit their practical function, with the use of precious metals they were also signs of status.
The Pelican in her piety refers to the medieval fable of the pelican drawing blood from her breast to feed her chicks. The pelican is thus a symbol of the blood of Christ in communion, a sacrifice needed for the redemption of mankind. The crescent moon and star...
