The style and technique of the ring seem to be German or Central European and date to the late 16th or early 17th centuries. The iconography of the intaglio was directly linked with one of the attributes of the Roman goddess Ceres and consecrated to the cult of Juno Lanuvina (a symbol of fertility, industry and richness), patron of grain and fertility.
