A broken part from an oval Roman finger-ring intaglio formed from red stone, possibly carnelian. Approximately half of the intaglio survives, with the upper surface bearing an inscribed design. This appears to be the lower half of the original motif, and shows a standing figure, possibly winged, leaning on what may be a column. Next to this on the left side as viewed is the lower part of what may represent a branched tree. The lower surface of the intaglio tapers to a plain flat surface, which bears traces of possible adhesive from the original mounting. The object is 9mm long, 11mm wide, 3mm thick and weighs 0.51g.
