- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, Hellenistic period, ca. 4th century BCE. A fine bronze signet ring featuring a cabochon of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, medicine, art, commerce, and military victory. The deity stands facing left wearing a high-crested Corinthian helmet with her shield and spear on one side and her sacred serpent on the other. Her left hand rests on her shield while her right holds out a patera. Impressively preserved with remarkable detail, this ring may have once served as an important symbol of civic identity for an ancient Athenian. Size of ring: 1" W (2.5 cm); of signet: 0.8" L x 0.6" W (2 cm x 1.5 cm); US ring size: 9.5
Provenance: private Danvers, Massachusetts, USA collection, acquired by descent; ex-Bernheimer’s Antique Arts, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, acquired prior to 1992
