Beschreibung

A transparent glass cast impression taken from an intaglio. Itiphallic cynocephalus.
15 x 20 x 7 mm
On the magical gems it is not rare to see the representation of itiphallic cinocephalus in an attitude of adoration; these are characters with solar connotations, linked to Thoth and the primordial myths of creation. The phallic component is a symbol of fertility and the renewal of life. The depiction is taken from a Roman gnostic intaglio (Raspe, plate VI, 221. See also Impronte Paoletti). Grand Tour Era production. For comparisons: A. Mastrocinque, Sylloge gemmarum gnosticarum, vol. 1, pp. 197-200.
18th-19th century.
