Title
Roman Finger Ring
Description
English: A copper alloy Roman finger ring set with a circular blue glass intaglio. This is carved to represent a horse standing left (when impressed). The ring has a plain circular hoop of rectangular to plano-convex section, widening and thickening at the shoulders. The bezel is flat with a circular depression for the setting. The glass intaglio is slightly higher than the surface of the ring. The horse (presumed) is depicted with an extended hind and slightly bent front leg. Its tail is short (unlike a horse) and points outwards. There is a prominent ear and a long tapered head, expanded at the nose with a large oval eye. The ring has an external diameter of 25.31mm and an internal diameter of 20.41mm. The glass setting has a diameter of 11.31mm.
