Description

An etruscan gold ring. Lion. Bezel in the shape of an almonds (also said "eye shape"), embossed with the figure of a lion, turned to the left; the border is dotted. A typology widespread during the classical period; by imitating the shape of an eye it acquires a clearly apotropaical meaning (see "The Fortnum Group"). For comparisons: Aa.Vv. L'oro degli etruschi, a cura di Mauro Cristofani e Marina Martelli, p. 318 n.278. 4th century B.C.
Set 17 x 10 x 2 mm; ring diam. 14 x 18,5 mm; gr. 3,26.
