Description

A rare fragment of an unfinished large roman agate cameo. Imperial portrait.

1st century A.D.

13 x 25 x 4 mm

In this fragment of two-layered agate the traces of the sketch procedures and of the engraver tools for carving a cameo are clearly visible. In this case it had to be a portrait whose physiognomy recalls some profiles of the Jiulio Claudian dynasty. Also on the back there are traces of the wheel instruments. Rare.
