Seal Stones II

[helens_daughter]

Some time ago, I posted an entry about Aegean seal stones, and how they were worn as rings or on cords around the neck or wrist.  Recently, I received a back issue of National Geographic from February 1978 in which a woman was shown modeling these seal rings.

To give you a sense of scale, here is the image below.  Note: the first ring is the one with the animal-headed offering bearers.
