#chnoubis

Signet-style ring bearing the image of the lion-headed serpent Chnoubis. The ring is heavy sterling silver with a knife-edged band and a flat lanceolate top.

Demiurge went by many names, such as Ialdabaoth, Samael, Saklas, and Nebro, and was identified by Gnostics as the wrathful god of the Old Testament.
