Sale
Gilt bronze, size 5. 2.8mm deeply rounded face band, thickened at the bottom in the Roman taste. Mammiform bezel of unmistakable anatomical form, superficially imitating a gemstone and blatantly advertising the intentions of the wearer. Fairly large size for these as Roman prostitutes were typically adolescents. Prostitution was practiced openly in ancient Rome. Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored. Gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
