A ptolemaic garnet intaglio set in a gold ring. Cornucopia.

3rd-2nd century B.C.

This fine convex hellenistic garnet intaglio is set in an ancient gold ring.

Arsinoe II Philadelphos. AV Mnaieion – 'Oktadrachm' Alexandreia mint. Struck under Ptolemy II, circa 252/1-250/49 BC). Attractive color of the stone. Mirror polishing.
