The convex oval stone is engraved with Eros aiming his bow. The god is nude, walking forward on a short groundline, with his wings raised behind him. The gem is mounted as a ring in a modern gold setting.

For the subject compare the carnelian ring stone, no. 212 in C. Wagner and J. Boardman, A Collection of Classical and Eastern Intaglios, Rings and Cameos.
