A glass intaglio. Hybrid creature, made of the conjoined protome of two figures (a male character with an attribute which is still to be ientified and a monkey, probably a babboon, with an attribute on its head, ascribable to egyptian context and mystery cults). Being characterized by the conjugation of the human condition with the animal one, the intaglio can be related to the magic sphere of soteriology; it could otherwise be ascribable to the metamorphoses (see: the Cercopes, changed into monkeys by Zeus). Wear marks. 2nd-3rd century A.D.
16 x 23 x 3 mm
