Carnelian ring stone, 2nd century B.C. – 3rd century A.D.
gryllos
Fanciful combinations of various human and animal heads, sometimes with the addition of other elements, are generally called grylloi. These fantastic devices were more than mere artists' fancies and were worn by the ancient Romans for their supposed efficacy in averting the evil eye.
