An unusual Late Roman gold ring.

Anthea Fine Arts

Date 3rd-4th century A.D.

Epoque Late roman

Origine consignment, London

Medium gold

Made of a plain rounded hoop, and surmounted by a soldered thick rectangular plate of gold. On each side, two spherical beads. 
The singularity of this ring lies in the fact that the plate had to be engraved and probably that the goldsmith did not have the opportunity to finish his work.
Beautiful conservation.
