Sculptured Head Sterling Ring Antique Large Size Mythological Ring

Sculptured Head Sterling Ring Antique Large Size Mythological Ring

This bold piece showcases a figural face, possibly depicting a classical or mythological figure, adorned with a distinctive wreath. While precise identification is challenging without specific historical records, the bearded visage and laurel wreath are commonly associated with classical Greek or Roman mythology. It could represent figures such as Zeus (Jupiter), Dionysus (Bacchus), or even a deified emperor or philosopher.

Though unmarked, this ring has been tested and confirmed to be sterling silver. Its sculptural quality and classical motifs suggest a European origin, possibly Italian. As an authentic antique, some of the finer details of the sculpture have softened or been lost over the decades, a natural process that adds to its appeal and rich history, making it a unique and well-loved artifact rather than a flaw. This impressive ring is a size 11.75 and measures 1 3/15" wide.
