A fine classical greek engraved gold ring. Seated Athena with weapons.
Late 5th - early 4th century B.C.
19 x 26 mm; ring size 16 x 21,5 mm; 19,30 gr.
The hoop is rounded without, flatten within, ending on a flat large oval bezel. The bezel is engraved with a seated Athena. The goddess is seated on a stool, depicted in perspective. The figure is tunicated, with uncovered arms. The head is slightly tilted forward, in contemplation of the corinthian helmet that she holds in her left hand. With the right hand she holds the spear, which can be seen behind in the background, diagonally. Her feet rest on a small raised pedestal. In front, a shield seen in three-quarters from behind. Next to it, a small snake. Groundline. Work performed with great refinement, with very fine engraved lines. The pose is elegant and well balanced in the oval. The scene is an emblem of virtue and wisdom. Solid gold. Wear marks on the surface, especially on the backside of the bezel. Otherwise, fine condition. Very large size. Rare.
