The hollow gold hoop is flat on the interior, carinated on the exterior, with broad shoulders and a flanged bezel ornamented with granulation. The elongated oval stone is engraved with Apollo Kitharoidos walking to the left on a short groundline, holding his kithara out before him. The god has his hair tied in a fillet and wears a belted chiton and a long himation falling on either side of his slender body in zigzag folds.

For two similar examples compare the garnet ring stone in Oxford and the chalcedony ring stone in Hanover, nos. 161 and 162 in D. Plantzos, Hellenistic Engraved Gems.
