Once a personal object carried and worn nearly two millennia ago, the ring survives today as both a historical artifact and a striking sculptural object.

The engraved portrait retains exceptional visual presence, while the aged bronze surface displays the rich patina and character collectors seek in authentic antiquities. Presented on a custom black steel museum mount, the ring becomes a refined display piece equally suited to a collector's cabinet, library, study, or carefully layered interior.

Objects of this scale often have an outsized impact. Whether displayed atop a stack of art books, within a cabinet of curiosities, or alongside natural stone and bronze objects, the ring introduces a sense of history and permanence that cannot be replicated.
