A Roman silver finger-ring lacking the hoop back (recent break). A small, flat, oval, engraved carnelian intaglio is set in the broad flat bezel. It depicts Bonus Eventus facing left, holding a patera and corn ears. Comparison may be made with the engraved gemstones in the Snettisham Roman jeweller's hoard (Catherine Johns The Snettisham Roman Jeweller's Hoard London, 1997).

Date: 2nd - 3rd century AD.

Dimensions: Max. external diameter 19.2 mm. Bezel width 10.7 mm. Intaglio 8.2 x 6.1 mm. Weight: 3.48 g.

Surface metal analysis conducted at the British Museum indicated that the silver content is approximately 91%. The identification of the red gemstone was confirmed as carnelian by Raman microscopy.
