About the Item
The 2nd century ring has a gold frame with two grooves and gold globules welded to the upper junction, where is set a Roman cameo in agate, depicting a fish. This is a subject that was widespread in the early Christian rings of Roman times, where the Greek name of the fish ICHTHYS had become an acronym for Christ and became a symbol of his followers during the period of persecution. The cameo is inserted in a circular frame with a small groove and it is a style compatible with rings found in the excavations of Pompeii. A ring with the same iconography is also published in the catalogue «Rings. Jewelry of power, love and loyalty» by D. Scarisbrick (p. 131).

Castellani Ancient Roman Agate Intaglio Gold Ring
By Castellani
Located in New York, NY
Castellani® has selected this Ancient Roman Agate Intaglio for the "Cleopatra" Ring Setting.
The intaglio dates to the 3rd to 7th Century.
The intaglio is both black and white agate, which is a hard stone and very good for carving. The agate has two layers of color, black on the top and white at the bottom. The agate intaglio is solid and is one piece. The carver was able to use these two color layers to give dimension and detail. The Column and Angel on the left wings are white and the balance is all black. The Carver knew the material he/she was carving and used this to create this very unique scene.
The intaglio shows two angels standing on either side of a column/pillar looking at the bust of a man on top of the pillar.
The angels are female and male. The bust on the pedestal is of a male.
The intaglio is set below the frame. The frame flairs out to a subtle point on the sides and has a flat surface.
The "Cleopatra" ring design was a style that Castellani created in the 1860's and was inspired by Ancient Roman rings...
