Description

A fine roman carnelian intaglio. Satyr with attributes.

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

11 x 13 x 1 mm

The young satyr is standing with crossed legs, elegantly leaning against a column. The figure, inspired by the hellenistic models, is slightly three-quarters while the head is in profile. With his right hand he holds ribbons and a very gnarled curved stick (pedum) while with his left a large bunch of grapes. Small groundline. The intaglio is done with great technical and artistic skill. The pose is elegant and soft in the modeling of the anatomy. Attractive variety of stone zoned between light yellow and orange. Wear marks.
