  1. Gold #Roman signet ring with carnelian or garnet intaglio from Petra, Jordan. It is small so it is believed that it belonged to a child, but it could have been worn by an adult person on the pinky finger what we can see on shrouds from #Fayum or sculptures from #Palmyra . The ring was found in the ruins of the Qasr al-Bint, the temple where the Nabataean god Dushara was probably worshiped.
