Silver Ring

[msgulfcoastcachehunters]

Found this ring on the beach in south Mississippi. Breaking the barnacles off and a little light polishing has made it pretty cool. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas at all about what or "who" this may be. It's a horned? masked? character of some sort. One side has grapes (Bacchus maybe?) and the other side has a flower of some sort. It's about a size 10 (fits me) and as big as a typical man's class ring.
All ideas and suggestions for a direction to research welcome!

Forgot to mention that there's absolutely no markings inside.

It looks like a spin-off of a Greek theater character .. similar to Comedy & Tragedy.

It looks like a 'biker's ring. Nice find, Breezie

I thought it was the devil with ram horns.

I think it is the Greek god Bacchus who was the god of wine. Notice the grapes on one side of the ring. I posted a link, look at the 7th row down last pix.

Ah, Bacchus the Greek god of wine and intoxication. No wonder the owner lost it lol.
Great ID.

Heres the ring:
Up for auction is a vintage man's sterling silver Bacchus ring. The charm is marked STERLING VICTOR. The size is an approximate 10 or 10 1/2. The weight is 21 grams. Well made and very unusual. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/mans-vintage-sterling-bacchus-ring-by-victor



ADDED: I just now realized the poster msgulfcoast told us it may be Bacchus and has grapes. Oh well I/we should read the posts more carefully lol.
