Enclosed within a hatched border stands Fufluns (the Etruscan equivalent of Bacchus) in a tunic and mantle, holding a beribboned thyrus and the handle of his kantharos. The material, shape and style connect this gem to a large group of elongated flat oval ringstones that were produced in late Etruscan workshops. The subject was inspired by the Hellenistic tradition. For a similar example at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, no. 92 in C. Gasparri, "Dionysos," in LIMC, vol. III).
