ἡ ποικιλῳδὸς Σφὶγξ τὸ πρὸς ποσὶν σκοπεῖν μεθέντας ἡμᾶς τἀφανῆ προσήγετο

rushthatspeaks, I found a sixth-century intaglio ring decorated with a siren, a sphinx, and a hippocamp. I don't know where the hippocamp came from, but otherwise—for obvious reasons—I thought of you.

(Ladies and gentlemen, for all your classical needs: the Etruscans.)

That's gorgeous and makes me wish I wore a ring half so cool.

(Joe and I both lost our wedding rings, which is not as horrifying as it sounds because they each cost $20 and were used mainly for the ceremony. I keep meaning to get myself something new, though I haven't found it yet.)
