Ancient Hellenistic Gold Ring with Medusa Motif c. 300 BC
About the Item
Circa 300 BC This impressive high karat gold ring (approximately 22.5 Kt) dates to the Hellenistic period and features a stirrup-shaped design. At its center is an embossed gold disc depicting the head of Medusa in archaic relief, her hair alive with writhing snakes—an enduring symbol of protection and mythological power. The disc is framed by two rows of twisted gold wires, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship of the era. The Hellenistic period (323–31 BC), spanning from the death of Alexander the Great to the rise of the Roman Empire, saw the fusion of Greek culture with influences from across his vast empire. Jewelry from this time reflects both opulence and technical mastery, and this ring is a striking testament to that legacy. Solid, wearable, and remarkably well-preserved, this piece is not only a rare collector’s item but also a tangible link to the ancient world. Diameter of the bezel is 20 mm (6/8 in.) Weight is 7.56 grams Metal analysis: 93.77% gold, 4.50% silver, 1.73% copper. Approximate ring size – 5.5 (18 x 15 mm) resizable FacebookTwitterWhatsApp
