The ring is thought to depict her son, Titus Carvilius Gemello, who passed away at age of 18. Found at the Grottaferrata necropolis close to Rome.

is it really hologram or simply a miniature covered in glass?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Holograms require lasers, don't they? So I would say the latter.

A miniature, but the relief would be exaggerated by the curvature of the glass, so the image looks deeper than it actually is.

I can't be sure, but this appears to be the Hollow-Face optical illusion. It would be achievable with this technology as well

Hollow face illusion produces a face that appears to follow the observer. This just looks like a sculpt under glass.

My guess would be a painting under the rounded glass piece to make the painting move slightly through the curvature of the glass. But I’m just some guy.

Had to throw her son off the cliff to get that stone.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago

When that didn’t work, she threw someone she loved off of the cliff.

That's clearly Brian May from Queen.
