Alla auktioner / Smycken & ädelstenar / Precious Coral Necklace with Antique Roman Intaglio of the "Bonus
Taking jewellery home with you as a souvenir from a beautiful trip, as a gift for those who stayed at home or as a memento for yourself, this beautiful tradition can be found in times gone by. Especially from trips to Italy, jewellery was often brought back to our cold north. Jewellery with antique or newly made cameos from Naples as well as jewellery with micromosaics from Rome or corals from the Mediterranean. This necklace is just such a memento - and it combines two materials that are typical of Italy. Firstly, coral, from which two strands of particularly large, intensely coloured and very high quality pearls have been put together. The corals are arranged in order of size, i.e. in graduated rows. Their length has been chosen so that the strands remain close together and yet have a nice play and are not too close to the neck. This creates a rich, yet not austere impression. The gold clasp bears the second souvenir, an antique intaglio in glass from the 2nd century AD. We see a man in a contrapposto, looking to the right. He is carrying an ear of grain and a sacrificial bowl. It is an ancient deity, the Bonus Eventus: the god, whose name means "happy outcome" or "happy prosperity", was initially responsible for a good harvest and was later invoked in a more general sense for every successful outcome of a task or undertaking. It was therefore not uncommon for intaglios to be carried in a ring at all times in the later imperial period. An intaglio of the bonus eventus in carnelian is also shown in Erika Zwierlein-Diehl: Antike Gemmen und ihr Nachleben, Berlin/New York 2007, p. 448 and pl. 156, both ill. 703. Here the god has watched over the good outcome of the journey: and now accompanies the wearer of the necklace on every further undertaking: Whether it is a new journey to the beautiful south or just for the little things of everyday life: with the wonderful necklace, for which an independent expert opinion on the quality of the materials is available, everything can only succeed!
