Ancient Roman Pastoral Intaglio Signet Ring Size:11 Turquoise & Rose Cut DiamondsDATE: Intaglio, Roman 1st century AD Ring, Victorian c. 1880 An outstanding antique signet ring set with an ancient Roman intaglio. The panel is opaque green glass paste, carved with a wonderfully detailed pastoral scene: a shepherd with three goats, seemingly in a forest clearing. Such pastorals were appealed to city dwellers, who likely to romanticize the idea of a wandering, country life, and gems like this were worn by many well off urbanites.
