- Lot Description
Western Europe, probably England, late Victorian period, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A gorgeous ring of a delicate and slender form, shaped from 63.74% gold, with a shank incised with triangular motifs along the terminals. The ovoid ring face features an openwork design along the underside that creates a lightweight yet sturdy base within which a hand-carved, citrine-hued glass intaglio is set. Featured on the intaglio is the intriguing, left-facing visage of a woman with a slithering snake beneath her neckline, perhaps representing the Roman goddess of thaumaturgy Angitia who specialized in curing snakebites, and above her head is a second, integral face protruding skyward. Size (ring): 0.66" W x 0.74" H (1.7 cm x 1.9 cm); (shank): 0.66" Diameter (1.7 cm); (bezel): 0.56" L x 0.4" W (1.4 cm x 1 cm); (intaglio): 0.52" L x 0.36" W (1.3 cm x 0.9 cm); gold quality: 63.74% (equivalent to 15K+); weight: 3.4 grams; US ring size: 3.5
