A roman gold pendant set with a gnostic amethyst intaglio. Mercury with attributes.

2nd - 3rd century A.D.

Stone 0,8 x 10 mm; h. max 16 mm; 1 gr.


The gold box-setting with suspension hoop is decorated on the edge with thin engraved lines.


The intaglio is depicting on one side— Standing Mercury, turned left and crowned with stylized little wings. He only wears a cloak, holding the caduceus in one hand and the purse in the other one.  On both sides greek letters and charakterês. Magical gems depicting Hermes/Mercury are very rare. The citizens of the Empire who worn rings with the image of this god were numerous. But on magical gems, the figure of Thut was more used.
