Descrizione

A rare and precious late roman agate cameo. Peacock.
9 x 15 x 3 mm
The elegant bird is facing left. Ground line. Symbol of royalty, beauty and immortality, the peacock was sacred to Juno and is a creature related to the herald; in the Christian sphere it was also a symbol of resurrection. Work done with skill, using the three layers of stone of different colors with art. Rare and refined half-moon shape bezel with rounded downward vertices, presumably for an earring or pendant.
3rd - 4th century AD.
