Description

A roman republican intaglio in banded agate. Ship. The watercraft is turned to the left, in full sail; it has a rostrum on the bow and the helmsman on the stern. Presence of globular elements. The intaglio shows a wise employment of the stone type (related to the subject), since the engraver has been able to exploit the agate stripes to imitate sea waves, with remarkable artistry. Light wear marks. 2nd - 1st century B.C.
7 x 10 x 1,5 mm.
