Beschreibung

A roman red jasper  intaglio. Gryllos.
7 x 10 x 2 mm
The hybrid creature is formed by a front mask to which two other profile faces are grafted to the sides; on the head, there is a fourth bearded mask facing upwards. The central mask is characterized by two pointed protuberances that start from the cheekbones and descend towards the chin, similar to the wings of an insect or fins of a marine creature. In the field: L - C - G. Slight wear marks and chipping on the edge. Unusual and uncommon magical apotropaic depiction, of great imagination.
2nd century AD.
