Hi everyone,
I saw this amethyst intaglio ring online and was wondering if anyone can tell if it could be Roman, or if it is more likely to be a revival from the 1800s..It seems very detailed, with a lion on a ship, and the stone is worn, so might be very old...But I'm not sure if Roman intaglios had that almost rectangular shape - I've seen it more often on fob seals.
Thank you very much! Any info greatly appreciated.
