This ring's design closely copies the coins; it may have been a souvenir from the Sanctuary of Artemis at Ephesos.
The bee was originally the symbol of an early Anatolian goddess whom the Greeks later identified with Artemis, whose priestesses were called "honey bees."
The ring has been slowly ha
nd carved in wax and was added with many details to give a real antique look.
