Egyptian Head Ring marked 985. Egyptian Head is designed in semi precious stone of colors as shown. This was bought in the East Village of Manhattan about 30 yrs ago at a street fair. Any information or thought about it or its meaning or perhaps history is appreciated. Does anyone believ it could be Egyptian Gold? Thank you .
I don't think the depiction is meant to be Egyptian, but rather, it's a Gorgon from Greek mythology. The three Gorgons had writhing venomous snakes in place of hair. Medusa is best known of the Gorgons.
Thank you---noob
