This spiral ring is wrought from a fine hammered sheet with midrib and bears incised decoration at the edges. The terminals imitate the head and the tail of a snake. Of particular interest are the coils of both the neck and tail, and the ornate rendering of the head. This type or ring, which appeared in the 4th c. BC, enjoyed wide distribution all over the Hellenistic world during the 2nd c. BC. In fact, there are bracelets of that period with similar multi-spiral forms and snake terminals, which may have formed sets with the corresponding rings. The ring reflects the sophistication of jewellery-making in Hellenistic times, which was largely due to the mingling of different traditions but, also, to the abundance of raw materials that trade made available in that period.
