EARLY ROMAN PERIOD, CIRCA 1ST CENTURY B.C./A.D.

The bezel is finely decorated with the triad of seated Isis within a naos, flanked by presumably Nephthys and a diminutive Horus on her right. The general type is considered Romano-Egyptian from the 1st Century B.C./A.D. For a discussion see doctoral thesis, J. Ogden, Gold Jewellery in Ptolemaic, Roman and Byzantine Egypt, Durham University, 1990, p. 121, figs. 110 and 111. See also the examples in the British Museum, London, acc. nos. 1917,0501.121 with a standing Isis, 1917,0501.119 with an Isis and Ptah, and 1917,0501.118 with Isis and a bust of Osiris-Canopus.
