"Gold signet ring, the largest extant Mycenaean ring. It depicts a procession of lion-headed daemons holding libation jugs and moving towards an enthroned goddess. The goddess wears a long chiton and raises a ritual vessel. Behind the throne is an eagle - symbol of domination. The sun's wheel and crescent moon appear in the sky. 15th cent. BCE."
