About the Item
Period: II-III century
Intaglio size: 1.8x1.5 cm
Ring size: 7
Weight: 7.16 gr
Il cammeo in agata, risalente al periodo imperiale romano del II-III secolo, raffigura un cane seduto di profilo ed è inserito in una montatura in oro con una particolare scanalatura nella parte superiore, funzionale ad esaltare la pietra centrale. La raffigurazione ha un particolare significato perché, in epoca romana, veniva citato nei codici legali con la funzione di guardiano, protettore e combattente. L'iconografia del cane, con il muso affusolato, richiamano una delle immagini più famose dell'antichità, ossia il mosaico di Pompei raffigurante un cane legato e accompagnato dall'iscrizione "Cave Canem" (lit. "Attenzione al cane").
The agate cameo, dating from the Roman imperial period of the II-III century, depicts a dog sitting in profile and is inserted into a gold frame with a particular shape in the upper part, functional to enhance the central stone. The depiction has a particular meaning because, in Roman Emperor, it was mentioned in legal codes with the function of guardian, protector and fighter. The iconography of the dog, with tapered snout, recalls one of the most famous images of antiquity: the mosaic of Pompeii depicting a dog tied and accompanied by the inscription "Cave Canem" (lit. "Attention to the dog").

Castellani Ancient Roman Agate Intaglio Gold Ring
By Castellani
Located in New York, NY
Castellani® has selected this Ancient Roman Agate Intaglio for the "Cleopatra" Ring Setting.
The intaglio dates to the 3rd to 7th Century.
The intaglio is both black and white agate, which is a hard stone and very good for carving. The agate has two layers of color, black on the top and white at the bottom. The agate intaglio is solid and is one piece. The carver was able to use these two color layers to give dimension and detail. The Column and Angel on the left wings are white and the balance is all black. The Carver knew the material he/she was carving and used this to create this very unique scene.
The intaglio shows two angels standing on either side of a column/pillar looking at the bust of a man on top of the pillar.
The angels are female and male. The bust on the pedestal is of a male.
The intaglio is set below the frame. The frame flairs out to a subtle point on the sides and has a flat surface.
The "Cleopatra" ring design was a style that Castellani created in the 1860's and was inspired by Ancient Roman rings...
