About the Item

L’intaglio romano del I-III secolo è realizzato in corniola ed è inserito in una montatura antica in oro con intrecci laterali. Al centro, invece, è intagliato un gryllos, quindi, un duplice ritratto che unisce volti umani e animali. In questo caso è rappresentato Sileno, nonché l’antecedente mitologico di Dionisio, spesso raffigurato con attributi animaleschi e da cui tradizionalmente si fanno discendere i Satiri e le Ninfe. Dal lato opposto, rivolto verso destra, si ha il becco di un’aquila, emblema di forza e potere. The Roman intaglio of the I-III century is made of carnelian and is inserted in an ancient gold frame with side braids. In the center, instead, is carved a gryllos, therefore, a double portrait that combines human and animal faces. In this instance, Silenus is shown as well as the mythological predecessor of Dionysius, frequently depicted with animal characteristics, from which traditionally the Satyrs and Nymphs derive. On the opposite side, facing to the right, there is the beak of an eagle, symbol of power and strength. Period:I-III century Ring size: 8 Weight: 12gr

Roman Intaglio Carnelian Ring
Located in New Orleans, LA
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. Displaying a rich red color and carved with the image of two Roman deities with a child, the creation exudes the glory of late antiquity. Each taking a classical contrapposto stance, the leftmost god appears crowned with laurels and grasping a staff, while the other appears nude. At their feet, an infant stretches his arms upward toward the divine figures. The crimson carnelian, more than a millennia-old, is set into a later 14K gold ring setting...
