A roman carnelian intaglio set in a modern gold ring. Bust of Venus.

1st - 2nd century A.D.

Stone 9 x 12 mm; ring size 17 x 18 mm; 8,84 gr.

The scene depicts the bust of a young woman shows in three-quarters, her face turned left. She is naked, her hair tided back in a bun with a large braid around the face. Her left arm bent is on the foreground, and she seems to hold an accessory in her hand, looking at it, probably a mirror (?). The 18k gold mounting has a massive hoop extending at the shoulders and with a large oval framed box-setting. Slight wear marks on the surface of the stone.
