Description

A roman republican amethyst intaglio. Private portrait of a young boy, turned three quarters. Extraordinary work, carried out with remarkable artistry and artistic taste, despite the extremely small size of the intaglio, created at the center of the bezel (of an excellent gem quality??). Most likely a personal gem, specifically commissioned by a member of the late-republican élite. 1st century B.C.
9 x 12 x 2 mm
