SOUVENIR FROM NINETEENTH-CENTURY ITALY
It's easy to imagine European tourists in the Bay of Naples, traveling back and forth from Paestum to Herculaneum at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, acquiring modest jewelry such as this ring carved from the volcano's multicolored lava. Because of their fragility, few of these rings have survived to the present day.
