- The ancient Egyptians considered the ibex to be a good-luck charm and symbol of renewal. Ibex figures often decorated New Year's gifts, and in "Happy New Year" inscriptions an ibex frequently served as the hieroglyphic emblem for the word "year." The piece here is pierced horizontally to fit into a ring.
