About the Item
Impressive Georgian period 14K yellow gold onyx intaglio signet ring depicting Medusa with coiled snakes.
Early 19th Century
The story of Medusa is one of the best known in Greek mythology. It is most appropriate that her image appears on a Georgian era signet ring as a symbol of protection. Perseus used the head of Medusa as a powerful weapon in battle, notably to defeat the mighty Atlas and later, against Polydectes, to free his mother from a forced marriage. He then presented the Gorgon's head to Athena who placed it on her shield Aegis. The head of Medusa is symbolic of strength, protection and empowerment.
The intaglio is large and beautifully rendered, set in a period 14K yellow gold setting.
