This golden ring is decorated with a rooster with an open mouth. The rooster used to be considered a charm which drove away evil spirits, especially when it was depicted with its mouth open.
The ring is unique in style and form. It consists of three thick spirals of solid gold, two of which are entwined together, while the third surrounds them. Each of the three spirals ends in a tiny ball.
The ring is set with chalcedony, a precious stone, which is framed with a wide golden band. Judging by the ring's beauty and weight, it was made for an important person of considerable wealth.
