Gold ring with flat leaf-shaped bezel on a solid stirrup-shaped loop. The bezel contains an image of Herakles as a beardless youth. He reclines naked and his extended right hand holds a kantharos. Behind him stands his club and another small object, perhaps a part of a quiver. The edges of the bezel are badly worn.
