I figured it looked like something Egyptian, but didn't get any images that looked like that kind of horse. Maybe a Pegasus? Beautiful ring though. Maybe a cross-bred between a Pegasus and a serpent. LOL Hey, they're mythical aren't they. Maybe a Pegaserpent. The brother of the BEAST. 1 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/20242-just-a-925-ring-but-the-design/page/2/#findComment-217879 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks strick, cuniagau HIPPOCAMPE and HIPPOCAMPUS (Hippokampê and Hippokampos), the mythical sea-horse, which, according to the description of Pausanias (ii. 1), was a horse, but the part of its body down from the breast was that of a sea monster or fish. The horse appears even in the Homeric poems as the symbol of Poseidon, whose chariot was drawn over the surface of the sea by swift horses. The later poets and artists conceived and represented the horses of Poseidon and other marine divinities as a combination of a horse and a fish. 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/20242-just-a-925-ring-but-the-design/page/2/#findComment-217928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
