    It was a ring. Broken rear rim. Silver. The front plate is gold. There is a stone marcasite. Tell me what the man on the front plate can mean. 20220528_183418~2.jpg 20220528_183501.jpg 20220528_183535.jpg 20220528_183443.jpg 20220528_183418~2.jpg 20220528_183501.jpg 20220528_183535.jpg 20220528_183443.jpg

    I was thinking more Central American-ish from the headdress. (and the hand shaped like a fork!)

    I've some mixed silver and gold similar pieces with Greek motifs on, such as the Acropolis, so that's where my head was going.

    Sorry, no brilliant insight here. My immediate reaction was also Meso-American for the figure, really doesn't quite look Greek or Egyptian to me, but don't think the ring was constructed in any of those places.

    This ring was found in England. Maybe it's related to Rome?

    Absolutely right, and you've probably seen the mural.;) (And I spent too much time in Greek restaurants.:hilarious:) Knossos, Crete:

    I have to admit, quite a lot is 'lost in translation'.;)

    That's the one! And yes, I did indeed see it. From memory, it was over restored in the thirties, I think.

    I'll see if I can find the photos of my own bits. Souvenirs, I reckon.

    A lot was based on ideas of Minoan art, rather than restored, if I remember correctly.;) Beautiful nonetheless.

    My other pieces are of a style that makes me think between the wars. I'd think this is as well.
