[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 442729, member: 2844"]Can anyone identify the Pharaoh, queen or deity on my Egyptian Revival ring? It is shaped like a seal. The person looks like a reigning queen to me, but I could be wrong. It is squatting, could be wearing a skull cap. There is a royal cobra/asp on the forehead, and it is holding the royal flail and ankh symbols. Over the person's head is a sun symbol with more cobras, and ankhs that seem to be suspended from the cobras' necks. Someone suggested it was Hathor, but I see no resemblance with the Hathors I could find. The ring is goldplated 935 silver, I assume German or Austrian made, but no maker's mark. Date unknown. Thanks for looking.:) [ATTACH=full]155655[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]155656[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]155664[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
