Description

This Roman bronze signet ring features a large oval bezel engraved with a worn figural scene. The schematic engraving and flaring bezel form are typical of personal seal rings used across the Roman provinces. The design has softened through prolonged use, consistent with sealing rather than decorative wear. The ring carries a deep, stable patina formed over centuries.
