CIRCA 1ST CENTURY A.D.

This attractive ring is decorated with the uncommon combination of a wreath rendered in cameo surrounding an intaglio in the shape of a satyr's mask, inlaid directly into the gold bezel.
For a similar example of an intaglio outlining a boat, inlaid in a gold ring, cf. S. de Ricci, Catalogue of a Collection of Ancient Rings formed by the late E. Guilhou, Paris, 1912, no. 236.
