Description

A roman carnelian intaglio. Faun with goat.

1st century B.C. - 1st century A.D.

15x17x3 mm

The scene shows a bucolic scene with a faun turned left playing with a goat. The mythological character is in flexion, his left leg and arm forward, catching one animal horn, while his other arm holds a branch with a string, in order to excite the goat. Groundline. The anatomical features of both figures and the rendering of volumes with some use of globular elements are well executed. Nice polishing for the engraving, and sign of use on he surface of the stone.
