Intaglio with Cornuopiae and Finger Ring
The Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University
Atlanta, United States
A pair of cornucopiae flank a finger ring set with a cameo gem of a bearded silen. A pair of clasped hands beneath.
The combination of different motifs associated with abundance and harmony suggest this intaglio was worn as a good luck charm.
