A "Toi & Moi" gold ring set with Roman red jasper intaglios. Satyre and offerer.

£ 2450

Intaglios : 0.9 x 1.2 cm (0 ³/₈ x 0 ¹/₂ inches)
Mounting: UK size O (resizable) ; total weight 8,93 gr
Roman imperial, 2nd century A.D.

On this double gold ring, set with two intaglios showing special scenes.
On the left, a satyre is holding a bunch of grapes with the left hand, and a pedum in the right. He is advancing right, with an erected phallus. The red colour of the stone refers to the erotic meaning of this buccolic subject. 
On the right, a female figure is holding on the right hand a vessel with fruits, and ear of wheat on the left one. 
Facing each other, these two characters create a beautiful balanced composition. The union of these two figures symbolizes prosperity and good luck in both wealth and love.
