The gold ring with heavy opus interrasile hoop with stylized openwork scrolling foliate design with broad shoulders, reset with a flat oval stone depicting a hunter mounted on a rearing horse, wearing crested helmet with a spear in his hand, looking back at an attacking lion, which emerges from beneath a bowed tree. Very good condition. Slight wear marks.
