An etruscan gold ring. 4th century B.C. Ogival bezel, almond shape, surrounded by a thin, twisted frame. Inside there are numerous grains, of different sizes, welded at the bottom altogether with threadlike, hatched elements, inserted to form round or crescent shapes. In the center we see a small foil, upon which two letters (to be identified) are engraved. The rest of the hoop is smooth. The decoration is carried out through granulation and, partly, chiselling. 4th century B.C.
Ring diam. 19 x 20 mm; gr. 6,28.
