This study is concerned with the examination of Hellenistic
finger-rings, defined as such by their pictorial engravings. The
principal aim of this art-historical and historical study is to
provide a chronological framework for the designs, made difficult
by the fact that these desirable items are often held in private
collections. Motifs include Greek gods and goddesses,
Hellenistic-Egyptian symbols as well as family emblems. The
pictorial representations are compared with general trends in
Hellenistic art and the production of finger-rings is examined in
relation to Hellenistic material culture in general. This rigorous
and scientific examination, focusing on the late 4th to mid 2nd
century BC, concludes with a catalogue of 174 motifs.
