Very Rare Antique Silver Tunisian Ring w/ Ancient Intaglio Stone Carving
The Intaglio Appears to Be Made from Siltstone, Similar Examples Can Be Seen in the British Museum Dating to the Late Roman Period 3rd Century. Tunisia Has a Rich History, Standing on the Ancient Phoenician City of Carthage, which was Taken Over by the Romans After the Final Punic War. It is Very Difficult to Accurately Date Ancient Stone Carvings. However Based on Tunisia’s History and the Similarity of This Carving to Those Archived, It is Likely to be Late Roman. Therefore the Faint Figure Could be a Warrior of the Roman Military or Possibly Mars (Roman God of War)
This Stone is Encased in a Fitted Silver Mount which Carries the Tunisian Head Hallmark Indicating .800 Silver Made Between 1905 and 1942 (source: World Hallmarks - Vol I - Europe)
UK Size K, US Size 5 (Band Has Not Yet Been Soldered Closed So Could Be Adjusted to a Few Sizes Greater!)
