AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Etruscan revival 21KT yellow gold ram’s head banded ring applied with Etruscan-style decorations
Rams’ eyes are set with spinel stones.
Made in Ca. 1880s
Tested positive for 21KT gold.
Dimensions -
Finger’s Size (UK) = V (US) = 10 3/4 (EU) = 63 ¼
Ring Size: 3.6 x 2.7 x 1 cm
Weight: 10 grams
Condition: The ring is pre-owned, has minor signs of usage, excellent and pleasant condition overall.
History:
The Etruscan civilization was one of the greatest the world has ever seen. Centuries before Rome became powerful the Etruscan elite presided over civilization with trading links that rivalled the Phoenicians and Greeks. Their architecture and arts were as sophisticated as the Greeks. They possessed wealth similar to that of Egypt. It is said that originally the Etruscan regions were ruled by kings but like the Greeks, before them, they overthrew the kings in the 5th - 4th centuries BC, eventually replacing them with republics.
The ram has always enjoyed favor as a potent symbol because of the animal’s legendary strength and virility (and hence its creative powers), and its characteristics as a leader and protector of his flock. In the ancient Near East, and from the earliest times throughout the Mediterranean, the ram was associated with powerful divinities and heroic figures, wealth and the elite, and sacrifice.
The ram, the most highly valued and sexually potent of domestic animals, was from the earliest times the most prestigious sacrificial victim.
