Ring with Isis (?)

Glencairn Museum

Glencairn Museum
Bryn Athyn, United States

“A sunk relief (intaglio) image of a seated Egyptian goddess decorates the bezel of this signet ring. She sits on a low-backed throne and holds a staff in her outstretched hand. Her dress is designed with a pattern of beaded netting. The goddess appears to have a uraeus (rearing cobra) at her brow. It may be an image of Isis.” (Jennifer Wegner, label text, “Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt”)
