A silver miniature, a reproduction of an ancient coin depicting Heracles struggling with the Nemean lion, dominates this burnished silver and 18 ct gold ring. The miniature, in a gold frame, rests on a rectangular plate decorated with gold elements at the four corners. The figure of the lion, which Zeus raised among the stars as the constellation Leo, adds symbolic meaning of strength and immortality to the jewel. The geometric details and contrasting materials evoke a modern classicism, making this ring a precious symbol of epic wear.
