Thank you Phil! I had my eye on it for a long time before I decided to finally pull the trigger.

Gorgeous. First ancient, huh? You obviously believe in "doing it right the first time"!
I would say it almost certainly comes from the 1953 Sisak Hoard found in Croatia.
The ones @Zohar posted have that look, too.
