The scaraboid presented here is in the “Hellenizing” style which is connected to the Greco-Persian series on account of style but not by subject. Depicted here is a winged sphinx wearing what appears to be a visored helmet purely Greek in style. It is very close to and perhaps by the same hand as a sphinx in Geneva wearing a pilos helmet, pl. 956 in Boardman, Greek Gems and Finger Rings.
