- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A gorgeous carnelian intaglio featuring a winged Victory - a personification of triumph - standing at an altar while holding a wreath set into a modern gold ring to be wearable. The draped deity faces left, wearing a helmet as her massive wings span out behind her. Alternatively, the double-banded ring is comprised of a circular shoulder and a tri-tiered bezel with the middle tier featuring a twist-rope motif. who represented the spirit of victory, rather than the goddess herself. Winged victories are central to Roman iconography and often found in pairs decorating the spandrels of Roman arches. Interestingly, portrayals of these winged women continued after the Christianization of the empire and, thus, evolved into the depiction of Christian angels. Size of ring: 1.1" L x 0.9" W (2.8 cm x 2.3 cm); of intaglio: 0.6" L x 0.4" W (1.5 cm x 1 cm); US ring size: 10; gold quality: 72.93% (equivalent to over 17 karats); weight: 5 grams
Provenance: private Danvers, Massachusetts, USA collection, acquired by descent; ex-USA collection, acquired before 2000
