Beschreibung

A late roman black agate intaglio. Martyrium Emblema.

4th-5th century A.D.

14 x 17 x 4 mm.

The gem is engraved on both sides. On the front: a christogram, a palm of victory and martyrdom, a vase (probably a jug). On the back: an anchor with two fish. The gem is characterized by Christological emblems referable to the production of workshops of late Roman antiquity. The black stone is characterized by widespread wear marks over the entire surface. Rare and interesting specimen.
