ROMAN CHALCEDONY INTAGLIO DEPICTING A BUCOLIC SCENE IN GOLD RING. Ca. AD 200. An oval chalcedony intaglio engraved with a standing male figure on the left, shown in profile with a forward-leaning posture.

Below, a smaller quadruped, potentially a dog, appears in a dynamic stance with bent legs and a lifted tail. The intaglio is secured within a gold ring with a raised bezel and a carinated hoop.
