This powerful Roman gold ring features a vivid orange intaglio carved with the dynamic image of a centaur—half man, half horse—poised in mid-motion as he draws his bow beneath a crescent moon. Symbolizing the fusion of human intellect and untamed nature, the centaur appears as a noble hunter, embodying strength, speed, and precision. The bold musculature and lifelike posture reflect the artisan’s keen eye for anatomy and motion. Set in a solid gold mount.
