Beschreibung

A roman sard intaglio. Head of a roman noblewoman. The effigy, turned to the right, is stylistically and physiognomically ascribable to the portrait typology of the julio-claudian dinasty, especially to Octavia Minor and Antonia Minor. The noblewoman is indeed characterized by a regular profile, an elongated neck and an elegant but peculiar hairdo: on the front, at the level of the forehead, there is a small hair puffiness, similar to that in Octavia Minor's portraits (see the back of the silver cistophor, RPC I 2201), while on the back the hair is tied in a lock, in the nape area, as for Antonia Minor (see dupondius RIC I 92). An intaglio made with competence. Attractive stone colour, intense and bright. Mirror-finish polishing. 1st century A.D.
15 x 9 x 2 mm.
