    My grandmother had a ring she said was a "Greek slave ring" shaped in such a way that on her finger it formed a chevron. Can anybody tell me about what Greek slaves would have worn in the way of rings?

    I have two sculptures both of which are of a man sitting cross-legged and bent over so far that his hands are on his knees and his face is hidden in his hands. He essentially forms a ball. One of the sculptures shows that he is wearing a thong of the type that a sumo wrestler would wear. Does anybody know what this kind of sculpture might be called or what it is associated with? Thanks.
