This ring is inspired by a unique ceramic vessel in the form of a ram's head from the antique collection of the Pushkin Museum. The design captures the spirited, cheeky grin of the original artifact—a detail that leaves an indelible impression. The name, ho pterotos kriós (Greek: ὁ πτερωτὸς κριός), translates to “the winged ram.”
The ram's head is set upon a curved bezel, framed by a pair of elegantly spread wings. This central composition is integrated into the ring’s structured shoulders, creating a cohesive architectural design that balances the expressive relief with classical form.
