Ancient Roman Gold ring with Amethyst Intaglio of Imperial Eagle
Late Roman, 4th century AD - Europe
An ancient Late Roman Military solid gold ring with engraved Legionairy eagle (Aquila) holding a laurel wreath in his beak and on both sides a Cornucopia (the Horn of Plenty) with birds. The ring is exceptionally ornate, with skillfully applied filigree and granulation. The hoop of this ring is a flat gold band decorated on the exterior with an applied band of gold wire.
