Description

A roman nicolo gnostic intaglio. Pantheistic deity.

2nd century A.D.
12x16x3 mm

The naked divinity is presented standing in contrapposto against a column and surrounded by snakes. Behind, a caduceus. His hair pulled back in a bun and surmonter by the modius. Groundline. Behind a crescent moon. This syncretic divinity is referrable to egypto-roman lunar cults and the tradition of assimilation — in this case with the gods Mercury and Thot. Interesting example of colored stone in ancient roman time. Very rare.
