Carved ring Lion in Moeca

Carved ring Lion in Moeca

Ring lion in moeca engraved on carnelian, mounted in 925 silver gold plating, on order also 18 kt yellow gold – What does Leon “in moeca” mean? Seen from the front with its wings open in this position, the lion resembles a crab with open claws, moeca in Venetian is precisely the crab during the moulting period, so the Venetians, pragmatic as ever to quickly describe this type of lion have nicknamed it Moeca. Certainly the Venetian lion is an indelible mark in history and is the one that still represents Venice today.
