Gold finger rings.
Finger rings became fashionable throughout the Persian Empire during about the 5th Century B.C. They gradually replaced stamp-seals as a means of confirming signatures on documents. One ring shows a winged bull and has an Aramaic inscription read as 'Pahashp' or 'Zahashp' and a monogram resembling ones found on Lydian seals. Two rings show seated women with pigtails below their spiked diadems and holding flowers.
5th - 4th Century B.C.
