Description

A postclassical carnelian intaglio set in a gold ring. Portrait of an emperor.

18th century.

int diam 17 mm; intaglio 11x18 mm; 3,79 gr.


The intaglio shows the portrait of a young laureated emperor turned left. The features are soft with small rounded eye, a small aquiline nose and a semi-opened mouth. The rounded chin and cheek contrast with a muscular neck. The short forehead is surmounted by voluminous short hair framing the face and letting the ear uncovered. The laurel wreath is ending in the back with a knot and ribbons. Classical representation of a young roman emperor inspired by roman glyptics productions. The gold mounting with rounded hoop, chiseled foliages on the shoulders support and large oval gold box-setting (different gold ?). Gold mark.
