A late hellenistic orange glass intaglio, mounted in a bronze pendant. Horse with column.
36 x 21 x 12 mm
The mighty quadruped, characterized by a tall muscular body and a small head turned backwards, raises the left front paw and moves towards the right in front of a column. Base line. the prototype is witnessed by another glass paste found in Pompeii in Reg. II ins. 4 (inv. No. 158795). The bezel is convex with slight wear marks. Attractive honey-brown color. The intaglio is mounted in a bronze oval pendant with double attachment (one at the top and one at the bottom, vertically). The frame has small cracks in the center on the back of the setting. Pleasant green patina with deposits. Presumably oriental workshop. Intact. For comparisons: U. Pannuti, Catalog of the glyptic collection, National Archaeological Museum of Naples, vol. 1, p. 144 n. 259.
