The hero is facing left, in profile, and is characterized by a curly head and by a large neck, with the leontea wrapped around it. The nose is chipped. The edge was probably reshaped in ancient times. The stone is mounted in a beautiful 18th/19th century chiseled gold ring, with the rod decorated with leaves motifs. Wear marks.
Stone 14 x 19 mm; ring size diam 21 mm; 7,22 gr.
