Elegant Roman intaglio in carnelian set on an attractive golden necklace. Shepherd and goat.

Roman carnelian intaglio set on golden necklace. Shepherd with petasos and club and a goat. The specimen has an authenticity certificate (St James Ancient Art- CJ Martin director): "extremely fine and delicate Roman golden necklace consists of thirty (fifteen in each side of the intaglio) hollow, double-leaf-shaped sections. Each section is made from golden sheet, and the sections are joined by links and loops on the back. the shape of the sections has evolved from double leaf and double bird shaped links in Roman jewellery into a more schematic shape as observed on this piece. The end of the chain has a triangular terminal with a hook for fastening, decorated with incised concentric circles. With a golden loop on the other side, it forms a clasp. In the center there is a golden setting with an inlaid oval carnelian intaglio depicting a shepherd wearing a hat and holding a staff. There is a small goat to his left side". Very fine, intact, minor encrustations on the surface. Slight indentations to golden sections and minor scratches to the gem stone. Intaglio with Italic style influence. Intaglio mm 17 x 11 x 4; necklace length cm 20, gr. 18,40
2nd – 3rd century A.D.
