The two-headed snake ring of Pompeii is inspired by the original 1st-century BC ring kept at the Archaeological Museum of Naples.
Made of bronze, this ring represents the powerful symbolism of the snake, considered an emblem of protection, wisdom, and regeneration. The two heads of the snake were particularly appreciated for representing the duality of life and death, as well as the continuity of the life cycle. Finely carved, they add a touch of charm and mystery to the jewelry.
