Western Europe, Neoclassical Period, ca. 19th century CE. A lovely ring of a sizable and hefty form that is wearable with any number of outfits, all formed from 77.96% gold. The minimalist shank extends upwards with terminals that expand to form the ovoid shank. Set within the bezel is a hand-carved brown agate intaglio featuring an integral opaque white boss with an incised image of a left-facing man standing nude while holding a spear behind his back with his left arm, perhaps representing Jupiter (Greek Zeus) or Mars (Greek Ares). The man also holds a kylix in his right hand with a foliate gathering dangling beneath.
