More info
Quite a few animals had sacred significance for the Minoans. The snake cult embodied a spirit that protected the home. It was this attribute of the snake by which the "snake goddess" is identified as the "household Goddess" and the welfare of the Minoan house.
This ring comes in only one size. As the ring is open-sided you can adjust it (with a bit of care) anywhere within the range of a US 6 and 3/4 to an 8 and 1/4. (in circumference this translates to anywhere between a 54mm and 58mm)
