The Yevdayev Collection of ancient rings comprises 59 superb examples from Egypt, Phoenicia, Persia, Greece, Etruria, and Rome, dating from the second millennium BC to the fourth century AD. The variety of rings is remarkable and includes not only examples in gold, silver, and copper, which are often set with gems, but also others carved from semiprecious stone, amber and shell. The rings are notable not only for their exceptional design and craftsmanship, but also for the fine engravings, which provide a wealth of images attesting to the importance of rings to the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean region. Many have not been published previously.
