Finger Ring with a Siren, Sphinx, and Hippocamp

This Etruscan gold ring (550–500 B.C.) features a cartouche-shaped bezel (1.9 × 0.9 cm) framed by hatched borders and divided into three registers, each engraved with mythological guardians: a siren, a sphinx, and a hippocamp. The hoop measures 2.7 cm at its widest. Crafted in Magna Graecia, its form and motifs reflect Ionian influence and the funerary traditions of southern Etruria.
