Roman carnelian intaglio with Cupid riding a Lion mounted in 22kt gold
About the Item
This antique signet ring features a Roman carnelian intaglio depicting Cupid riding a lion. The intaglio is set in a 22kt gold shank, and the shank of the ring dates to the 19th century,. The detailed carving on the carnelian showcases the fine artistry typical of Roman intaglios, making this ring a significant piece of historical jewellery.

The depiction of Cupid, the Roman god of love, riding a lion, symbolizes strength and love.

Exceptionally rare and fashioned in the 2nd or 3rd century CE, the carved carnelian gemstone at the center of this ring hails from the Roman Empire.

Elaborately carved gems were a staple of luxury in antiquity and often incised onto semi-precious stones such as carnelian or jasper. In the form of a talisman they served as extraordinary symbols of status and in certain cases, they were believed to provide divine protection. They were also employed as a form of personal identification when pressed in hot wax or clay. Rulers, nobles and wealthy merchants sought, collected and traded these fascinating miniature works of art.
