Roman Onyx Intaglio and Yellow Gold Ring
About the Item
A Roman onyx intaglio and yellow gold ring, the oval- shaped onyx measuring approximately 11 x 8.5 mm, depicting Dionysus leaning on a column and holding a kantharos, carved in 1st-2nd century AD, rub-over set in later yellow gold mount, testing as 20ct gold, circa 1830, head measuring 1.8x1.5cm, gross weight 11.6 grams. Finger size K 1/2
This exquisite antique intaglio ring comes from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. It features an onyx intaglio of the Ancient Greek god Dionysus dating from the 1st-2nd century AD. This wonderful example of ancient history was set in a rich and bright 20 carat gold ring in the 1830s, when ancient intaglios had a resurgence in popularity. Dionysus is the god of the grape-harvest, winemaking and wine, fertility, festivity, and theatre, in the ancient Greek religion. He is also known as Bacchus or by his Roman name Liber. A wonderful, historical piece.

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.

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...
