A ROMAN OBSIDIAN MAGIC GEM (2nd CENTURY AD)

The flat oval stone on one side is engraved with a radiate Anubis striding to the right, wearing a kilt, holding an ankh and a was-scepter; a crowned horus-falcon is at his feet on a short groundline. The other side of the stone has an eight-line Greek inscription.

The stone is mounted as a swivel ring in a modern gold setting, the bezel is ornamented with granulation, the hoop hallmarked "ET," meaning probably Elisabeth Treskow, from Cologne, circa 1960s-1970s.

A doorway designed to stop people before they entered.

These are the Peacock Doors at Palmer House, Chicago, designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany for the C.D. Peacock jewelry store once located inside the hotel.

With layered feathers, scrollwork, and bronze detail, the entrance turns a simple storefront into a piece of decorative art.
