古羅馬 金色 涼鞋裝飾戒指 (沒有保留價)
An impressive Ancient Roman gold ring with a sandal sole adornment. The flat, uniform, band is framed with continuous rows of miniature granules. The adornment takes the shape of two flat sandal soles. The soles are decorated with more granules around the edges and in place of metal studs. The ring is in excellent condition, with fine detail and beautiful shine.
Roman shoes are found in an array of different forms and designs. The studs on the sole performed a practical purpose in keeping the shoe together and providing a grip for the wearer. They became however another feature which could be enhanced in a fashionable manner, and thus were often utilised to create patterns on the sole.

Provenance: From the late Alison Barker collection, a retired London barrister; formed early 1960s-1990s.
