The object reflect Late Antique/Early Eastern Roman decorative and manufacturing traditions. Flat garnet plates originate with one class of ring-stone intaglios from the Late Hellenistic and Imperial Roman periods, but developed especially in the 4th-6th century, where they preserved the Romano-Greco traditions with the influence of Sassanian and Pontic peoples. They were used for jewellery, weaponry and decorative expensive objects.
