[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 136543, member: 1899"]I purchased this old silver Egyptian style ring today and haven't been able to find out much/anything about it. It looks like it could be Egyptian but I'm really no sure about that. The ring looks old and has some black tarnish on it of which I've cleaned up a little to see the front and other areas more clearly. The rings is about a ring size 6.5 and weighs about 10.82 Grams and measures on the top about 23mm x 10mm. It looks like there is a figure seated on the ring holding something with a long handle and a forked end. There also looks like a Falcon that is in front of the seated figure. There are other marking on the side of which are unknown to me and there appears to be some type of writing inside the ring of which I've shown 2 images since I don't know which way is right side up. Does anyone know where this ring came from, how old it is and perhaps the maker of the ring (just asking, you never know), or anything else about the ring? Thanks!
