Circa 400 BC A finely modelled Ancient Greco-Phoenician swivel ring featuring an onyx intaglio with winged horse Pegasus set in a solid gold bezel decorated with a incised decoration, the shoulders apany granule decoration. The ring features a thick and plain loop, threaded through the ends of the bezel. The swivel ring is Phoenician in origin and was extremely popular across the Mediterranean basin in Antiquity, similar items having been found in Cyprus, Greece, Egypt and Etruria. The item has undergone X-ray fluorescence analysis to confirm the metallurgical content suggesting its ancient origin and lack of modern trace elements.
