[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 435428, member: 5833"]I saw a ram immediately & thought it could be astrological/birth sign jewellery, but AJ is quite correct the ram's head motif is a very old one & probably at least since the Egyptians thought up Amun. It's a ring, so borrowing the ouroboros form was a good way of tying up loose ends, so to speak. As for scales, maybe it's a capricorn, a sea-goat. There must be male ones.
