A Roman carnelian intaglio ring A Roman carnelian intaglio ring, set with a figure with a textured outline on a plain scroll topped shank, yellow metal, size L. On initial inspection the gold is very yellow and quite thin. The intaglio seems to be carved with quite a crude figure in a hat, it could be later but doubtful. There is slight edge knocks but good overall, other marks and wear consistent with the age. From an enthusiast who was collecting in the 1960s and 1970s, his relatives brought items in. Some have been dug up, others haven't this is the end of the collection.
