Title |
Gold filigree ring |
||
Description |
English: A damaged and distorted Roman gold filigree finger-ring. The hoop is slender, of softened rectangular cross-section. The shoulders and bezel comprise an openwork design based on an eye-shaped frame of beaded wire enclosing two concentric filigree wire circles (the outer plain, the inner beaded), with a symmetrical arrangement of four circular pellets (one missing) at the centre. One of the shoulders preserves two (of, probably, three) similar pellets, but all are missing from the other shoulder. The outer face of the bezel displays traces of heavy or prolonged wear.
For the similar use of gold filigree wire, granulation and openwork heart-shaped shoulders see, for example, the gem-set ring YORYM-FB2362 (2006T351; TAR 2005/6, no. 126, p. 64), from York. Date: probably 4th century AD. Dimensions: 23.2 x 20.5 mm. Bezel width 13.7 mm. Weight: 3.78 g. Non-destructive surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated a gold content of 69-72% and a silver content of 24-26%. |
