Item Details
Description
THIS LOT IS BEING OFFERED WITH NO RESERVE.

This unusual and charming ring resembles ancient Achaemenid (c. 550-350 BC) jewelry with counterpoised animal figures more commonly found on torques and bracelets. The round band is stamped on the interior “22k” (22 carat gold). The ring is decorated with two rabbit heads, mouths touching, their long ears laid back adorning the hoop. Possibly a ring like this was made for tourists who had travelled to the East and brought back such rings as a memento of their journey.

Provenance:Alexander Gallery, New York, 2006; formerly property of an East Coast collection.

Dimensions:Circumference 49.3 mm.; US size 5, UK size J ½
