Description: A Roman gold finger ring of 'keeled' type with a broadly circular dark to light blue coloured intaglio, probably composed of glass paste.

The hoop is circular in section and expands to sub-triangular shoulders; the circular setting is very crudely anchored around the setting. The hoop is now very distorted and the ring very worn and scra…
