L’anello si compone di un cammeo in pietra dura databile al XVIII - XIX secolo, il quale è stato incastonato in una montatura in oro giallo. Il cammeo riporta il ritratto di profilo di un uomo, i cui particolari tratti somatici sono accuratamente messi in evidenza, tra cui si scorge il naso ad aquilino, la fronte leggermente corrucciata e una capigliatura riccia finemente descritta. La montatura in oro in cui è incastonato il cammeo arricchisce ulteriormente l’anello: essa si compone di scanalature incise che corrono lungo il gambo, il quale si raccorda alla parte superiore grazie all’apposizione di due foglie di quercia incrociate, in cui si inserisce una ghianda. L’anello si presenta in ottime condizioni conservative e se ne ravvisa l’elevata qualità incisoria che ha permesso la descrizione minuziosa del profilo maschile, estremamente vivido e realistico.  

 

The ring consists of a hard stone cameo dated to the 18th - 19th century, which is set in a yellow gold setting. The cameo features a profile portrait of a man, whose distinctive facial features are carefully highlighted, including an aquiline nose, a slightly frowned forehead, and finely described curly hair. The gold frame in which the cameo is set further enriches the ring: it is made up of engraved grooves that run along the stem, which connects to the upper part thanks to the addition of two crossed oak leaves, into which an acorn is inserted. The ring is in excellent conservative condition, and its high engraving quality is evident, which has allowed a detailed description of the male profile, which is extremely vivid and realistic.
