On the engraved bezel of this Greek gold ring, a woman sits with her head bowed, holding a bunch of flowers. She wears a belted chiton and an epiblema or veil covers her head and falls open over her shoulder. She sits on an object that is probably the capital of an Ionic column. Without any further attributes, her identification is uncertain, but similarly posed figures sitting on Ionic capitals were used for depictions of deities on other rings and gems of the late 400s B.C.

The leaf-shaped bezel is the most common form for rings of the later 400s B.C. Carving the elaborate motif into the soft gold of the bezel by hand allowed the artist to create this very detailed image, which shows even the stitching on the neck and sleeve of the dress and the veil's dotted edge.
