Description

A roman carnelian agate intaglio. Female bust, wearing a tunic. The young woman is turned three quarters, with semi-closed lips and hair flowing over the shoulders. This typology recalls, in both composition and expressiveness, depictions of female busts (both facing and in three quarters) that in some regions/cities represent the personification of Africa. Interesting work, polished in the intaglio. Light wear marks. 1st century A.D.
11 13 x 3 mm
