Kallos Fine Jewellery Women's Gold / Silver Chersonesos Lion Signet Ring
Description
Classical Greek, circa 386 - 338 BC. A bespoke modern 18 carat gold ring set with an ancient silver hemidrachm of Chersonesos, Thrace. The hemidrachm dates to circa 386 - 338 BC and depicts the forepart of a roaring lion on the obverse, its head turned back to look behind, and a quadripartite incuse square, with two sunken quarters each containing a pellet on the reverse. Chersonesos was an ancient Greek city-state located in Thrace. Lions appear on ancient coins from the very dawn of coinage. As the king of beasts lions were often chosen by Greek city-states to represent their city. These are rare and unique ancient miniature artworks, whilst they are designed to be worn we suggest avoiding contact with cosmetics, perfumes, chlorine, and chemicals. Clean with warm water and pat dry with a clean, soft cloth. When not in use, keep your jewellery in its box to protect it from dust and other debris.
