Intaglios were used in ancient civilizations as seals for documents and goods. Men of all stations owned them, with precious gems or stones favored by the upper classes. This unusual turquoise intaglio was set in its Etruscan Revival shank during the nineteenth century. The profile is possibly the likeness of a god or a king., Middle Eastern in origin.
A very special piece, it's Intriguing and attractive and it will be a great addition to any antique jewelry collection!
