    • A rare and whimsical piece: this Georgian gold ring is set with an ancient Roman carnelian intaglio, depicting a mouse playing a pair of aulos pipes, a popular wind instrument in antiquity. Humorous scenes like this were common in Roman art, reflecting a fondness for fantasy and satire.

      The intaglio dates to the 2nd–3rd century AD, and was later mounted in a late 18th-century gold signet setting, likely brought back from a Grand Tour. The gold tests as 14–15K, with a subtle rosy hue typical of Georgian jewellery.

      UK ring size K (US 5.25)

      The intaglio measures 8 x 6mm, with a bezel diameter of 1cm and a 2mm band. Total weight: 1.84g. The ring is in good antique condition, with signs of historic repair to the band.
