Descrizione

A fine early roman carnelian intaglio set in a gold ring. Omphale.

1st century B.C.

Stone 9 x 16 mm; ring size diam. 17 mm; 4,79 gr.

Very fine representation of Omphale, standing and facing left. The young figure holds the club with both hands, and wears the leontea. Every detail is engraved with great technical and artistic mastery. The hair is engraved with great refinement, as the soft anatomical volumes and the pose of the legs, inspired by greek statuary models. Groundline. Presence of two letters in the field. The gem is broken into two pieces, held in place by the ring.

Provenance: UK private collection.
