A long rectangular Silver Cameo Ring,The high relief figure of a slender girl in classical Roman clothing, with a halo and a staff with a Cross at the top.  I have no idea if there was a third or fourth century Roman/Byzantine female Saint who looked like a young Mia Farrow or is it a young Joan of Arc, except she is usually depicted in armour. I would have expected to find a French Silver mark on this Ring but there is nothing, so your guess as to country of origin is as good as mine.   The top plaque is fairly thick and substantial, to a slender shank and I would date the Ring to circa 1900.

Condition: Good
