Serapis was one of the most popular subjects on gems during the Roman period, often shown either frontally or in profile, as here. For the most recent discussion of the topic, see R. Veymiers, Sérapis sur les gemmes et les bijoux antiques. The gem is mounted as a ring in a 19th century gold setting.
