Roman ring with theatre mask made of bone (1st century, hand-carved)

This Roman ring, made of polished bone, is based on a 1st-century find and is modeled after an example from the British Museum in London.

It depicts a theatrical mask, presumably symbolizing the comic mask of the Muse Thalia. Such depictions were closely associated with theater, entertainment, and artistic expression in Roman culture.

Bone jewelry was widespread in Roman daily life and represented an affordable alternative to precious metals, without sacrificing decorative quality.

Each ring is handcrafted and individually designed, resulting in unique pieces with slightly varying details.
