Lot 139 - Auction 86

Description
A fine roman red jasper with green, yellow and transparent inclusions. A running figure with a galopping horse.
1st century B.C.
14 x 17 x 3,5 mm
The running male figure is naked and holds a spear with a small cloth in his right hand, the horse with his left (even though the bridle has not been shown). Next to him is a galloping horse with raised front legs. The scene, very interesting, is identifiable by a glass impression from a lost intaglio, that represents the same scene: a rider who gets on the horse while running with the help of the pole ("Un soldato solito di salire a cavallo coll'ajuto dell'Asta"). Extraordinary variety of the stone. Large size. Rare subject.
See parallels: L.P.B. Stefanelli, La collezione Paoletti, vol. 1, p. 154 n. 528.
