The pronounced yet flat bezel of the ring serves as a captivating focal point, inviting the eye to explore its intricacies and the potential significance it held for its owner. Such rings were highly prized possessions in ancient Egypt, reflecting the status, wealth, and personal taste of the wearer during the illustrious New Kingdom period.Size: L:5 1/4mm / W:Kmm ; 10gProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly acquired in early 2000s; previously in 1960s UK collection.
