5th - 4th century B.C.

intaglio : 10 x 12 x 5 mm ring diam : 17 mm 2,77 g

The animal is facing left. For the mounting, the refined ring-shaped hoop is formed by the interweaving of two thread-like elements of different thickness and ends near the scarab with a spiral twisted pattern. The mounting style reminds etruscan production, which makes this scaraboid ring an example of one of the most develop market in Etruria. Very fine condition.
