of Medusa. <br><br>Ring Size: US 9.5-10 Stone Dimensions:3*2.1cm Wt:16.8g<br>Hand?intaglio carved agate depicting a profile bust of Medusa, exquisitely worked with powerful artistic presence. Mounted in 18K gold, it is grand, artistic and elegant in design. In ancient Roman and Greek times, noble patrons wore Medusa signet?rings, believing her petrifying power could ward off malice, envy and misfortune, making this an amulet?type jewel. Medusa embodies both fatal beauty and formidable deterrence. In later periods, she has additionally been interpreted as a symbol of repelling slander and fending off harm. <br><br><strong>ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO RETURNS, REFUNDS, OR CANCELLATIONS.</strong><br><br> <strong>Condition and Authenticity:</strong><br><br> Any statement in the catalogue, condition report, photographs, video, invoice, or other written or oral communication regarding the origin, date, age, attribution, authorship, authenticity, provenance, material, condition, or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only.
