Описание

A fine late Roman sardonyx cameo. Lion.
17 x 24 x 6 mm
The mighty animal, symbol of strength and power, is represented in profile. The mouth is half-open, a massive body; the tail is sinuous with the end facing upwards. The ground line and the figure are honey-brown in color, the bottom is white with brown shades on the edges. The details of the "lanceolata" mane (with the pointed fur like leaves) bring the work closer to the ateliers of the late Roman Empire. Well executed work, inspired by the classic late Hellenistic and Roman models of the early imperial period. A very close comparison is the sardonyx cameo of the National Archelogical Museum of Naples (inv. No. 25969/136), almost the same in type. Slight signs of wear. For comparison: U. Pannuti, The glyptic collection. National Archaeological Museum of Naples, vol. 2, pp. 273-274.
3rd-4th century AD.
