A ROMAN CARNELIAN INTAGLIO RINGSTONE
circa 1st century a.d.
The oval stone engraved with a Bacchic procession, on the right (in the impression) a faun embracing a nude maenad, the maenad holding a cup in her right hand, a crouching draped satyr behind them drinking from a cup, Pan in the center playing his pipes, a draped maenad behind him with a bowl of fruit in her raised right hand, a thyrsus in her left, Pan and the maenad overlapped by a figure of a bearded nude Silenus riding on the back of a mule, the animal's head lowered, Silenus with a bunch of grapes in his raised left hand, clutching his mantle in his right which drapes over the mule's back, a winged nude Eros supporting him from behind, a tree framing the scene on the right, a groundline below, a Greek inscription, KOIMOY, in the exurge, either the artist's signature or the owner's name, mounted in a gold ring of the late 19th century
