Descrizione

A rare bronze small box (pisside) from the late Roman period containing 7 gemstones.
bronze boxe h. 18 - diam. 21 mm
The small cylindrical container, characterized by very thin walls, has a lateral break and various dents. Inside it is still preserved the fabric, with interwoven weave, which originally wrapped 7 gemstones: 3 round cabochon garnets, 2 cabochon garnets engraved with representations (intagli), a rectangular garnet, 1 chromed green chalcedony chipped on the edge. It is a rare testimony that in ancient times belonged to a goldsmith or to a gem engraver, who set aside (for storage or for hiding) these gems to be mounted on rings, partly engraved. Signs of wear.
3rd - 4th century AD.
