Beschreibung

An unusual roman carnelian intaglio. Six boars.

1st century B.C. - 1st century A.D.

9,5 x 11 x 1,5 mm

An extraordinary representation of six wild boars seen in profile, facing left, one behind the other in perspective. It is possible to see the whole body in foreground, and just the snout, back and curled tail for the others. Groundline. The intaglio is performed with great skill considering also the size of the stone. Use of globular elements. Mirror polishing. Attractive vivid color of the stone. Slight wear marks. Rare.
