The ring features a carnelian (a chalcedony quartz often used in ancient and revival jewelry for engraving) with granulated and beaded detail in meticulous detail showcasing its refined workmanship.
The surface of the stone shows an intaglio engraving—a design cut into the stone rather than raised.
The imagery depicts a human figure on a horse, holding a shield and or sword behind them.
Historical Influence
Intaglio rings were widely used in ancient Rome and Greece as signet rings for sealing documents.
Carnelian was particularly prized because it didn’t stick to wax, making it ideal for seals.
The subject carved on the gem could be mythological, heroic, or symbolic—common themes for Roman and Hellenistic gems.
