Object Description
An Ancient Roman gold ring featuring a D-section hoop and slightly expanding shoulders. The oval bezel is set with a large carnelian intaglio, finely engraved with the bust of Serapis facing left. The god is portrayed as a robed and bearded figure, recognisable by his typical attribute: the modius, a flat-topped cylindrical headpiece found in the Egyptian and Graeco-Roman world.
