abalone would not be my 1st guess..

 

I'd say green turban shell too. It's definitely green, and abalone that isn't.

Not sure AI can be blamed, if they showed it a good photo. This is what I got:

"This is a Roman carnelian intaglio depicting a lioness or tigress with a thyrsus (a staff associated with Dionysus) tied to her back.The carving is set in a modern gold signet ring."

Not too far off, a female big cat, although a pantheress. They are right about the thyrsus & association with Dionysus. And jasper, not carnelian.

The image search did turn up one of the same type also identified as a bull that is actually a boar.

So tiny I have never managed a good photo, but the intaglio in a ring I wear nearly all the time:

 

The she-wolf babysitter.

 

That's her! Is it just me, or would you take her home before you'd take those kids? They don't look quite human.

 

Romulus & Remus. I always think if the fratricidal combat had gone the other way, it would now be Reme instead of Rome.
