About the Item

Period: late XVIII century Top size: 12 mm Ring size: 21 Weight: 19gr. Silver and 18kt Yellow Gold Ring L’anello, realizzato in oro 18 carati e argento, presenta un’agata grigia databile alla fine del XVIII secolo, sulla quale è inciso un airone. Oltre al buono stato di conservazione, merita attenzione la raffigurazione dell’airone, animale considerato sacro nell’Antico Egitto poiché rappresentava il passaggio dalla vita terrena a quella ultraterrena e costituisce un soggetto iconografico poco frequente. The ring, made of 18k gold and silver, features a gray agate dating back to the end of the 18th century, on which a heron is engraved. In addition to its good state of conservation, the heron is an animal considered sacred in Ancient Egypt because it represented the transition from earthly life to afterlife and constitutes an unusual iconographic subject.

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...
