Object Description
A very fine Roman gold ring featuring a thick gold round-section shank attached to an oval bezel. The glass cabochon inset in a vivid red colour has been carefully carved with a male bust depicted in a three-quarter view. The youthful appearance of the male and the voluminous curls framing his face point to the figure most likely being Apollo, the Greek and Roman god of art, healing and prophecy.
