EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient artistry - a ring inset with an intaglio representing Fortuna. Crafted by unknown hands in Egypt, Africa between 220 and 100 B. C. , this exquisite artifact is made from gold and carnelian, radiating both opulence and historical significance. The centerpiece of the ring is the intaglio, skillfully carved into the carnelian gemstone. Depicting Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck and fortune, this intricate design captures her divine essence with meticulous detail. The artist's mastery is evident in every stroke as they bring forth Fortuna's graceful form and serene expression. The choice of materials adds to its allure; gleaming gold encases the precious stone, enhancing its beauty while symbolizing wealth and power. This combination creates a harmonious blend that reflects the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. Measuring approximately 3.8 cm (1 1/2 in. ), this small yet significant object holds immense historical value. It serves as a tangible link to a bygone era when craftsmanship was revered, symbolism held great importance, and belief in deities shaped everyday life. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness not only an extraordinary piece of jewelry but also glimpse into the beliefs and aspirations of those who lived centuries ago.
