ROMAN BRONZE RING WITH GEOMETRIC PATTERN

Ca. 100-300 AD
A bronze finger ring with a broad and flat-section hoop, providing a comfortable fit for the wearer. The incised shoulders add an elegant touch, enhancing the visual appeal of the ring.

Within the bezel, a central panel captures attention with its mesmerizing chevron decor, displaying a series of interlocking V-shaped motifs. These chevron patterns, characterized by their angular precision, create a sense of visual harmony and geometric sophistication. Flanking the central panel are side panels adorned with mesmerizing geometric patterns. These designs exemplify the Roman fascination with order, symmetry, and precision, reflecting their mastery of mathematical principles and artistic expression.
