A large Roman garnet intaglio. Allegorical scene.

On the left, the winged Victory is holding a laurel wreath with the right hand and a palm frond with the left; on the right, Tyche-Fortune with the modio on the head, supports the cornucopia and offers something inside a vase, setted at the center of the scene. The two figures face one another, in the act of looking at each other and performing the votive ritual together. Above, two birds. Interesting auspicious allegorical scene, referring to success and abundance. Rare composition, rich in details. Large size bezel with a slightly convex surface. Mirror polishing. Attractive stone color. Slight wear marks and small chipping on the edge.
3rd century AD.
