A greek hellenistic gold engraved ring. Allegorical female figure with a laurel wreath.
4th century B.C.
Diam. 20mm; ring size 14 x 19 mm; 6,70 gr.
Kindred type. Plain hoop, rounded without and flatten within expending with broader shoulders into a thin circular bezel with engraved design; allegorical female figure standing right and wearing a folded chiton wrapped under the chips with a vaporous coat held by his right forearm. She is leaning on a column and holding in her left hand a laurel wreath. The edge of the bezel is marked like a coinage mint. Very good state of conservation.
