The Althorp Leopard: The Celebrated Life of a Renaissance Cameo, focuses on a single ring.

Carved out of a moss agate, it depicts a life-like spotted leopard crouching as though about to spring; it was probably crafted by a skilled gem cutter in northern Italy during the height of the Milanese lapidary.
