Reproductions of Mycenaean Rings

View through Harvard Museums
Reproduction of Mycenaean rings. One electrotype has two rows of different horned cow-heads in intaglio. The rows are divided by a row of eleven dots. To the left of the rows is an odd figure identified as a Trojan Palladium by Schliemann. The original was found in Grave Circle A. Another electrotype shows two winged griffins back to back facing each other. The original was found in a chamber tomb at Mycenae. The stone reproduction is of a jasper original with a man holding a lion in each of his outstretched arms. The original was found in a chamber tomb at Mycenae. Exact prototypes of the other rings have yet to be identified.
