Abstract and cryptic in its symbolism the face of
this ring is engraved with a series of vertical and
horizontal bands divided into three sections. In
the center area the slightly thicker bands form
columns and plinths like the entrance to a castle.
Short horizontal bands fill the background, while
vertical ones comprise the upper and lower
areas. Simple in design, and yet mysterious, this
ring was probably used as a seal to imprint its
mark upon wax, proving ownership and authority
of its owner.
