Ring with Sphinx

Ring with oval bezel in which a winged sphinx is represented with an egyptian klaft, and over it the solar disk is placed.

This type of decoration could have a protective role against evil, because the sphinx in the iberian world is a divine guardian animal.

The oriental character of the decor reflects the phoenician influence on Iberian society, and according to their type could be framed in a chronology of the late 5th century B.C. and the first half of the fourth century B.C.
