查看翻译古罗马 紫晶 带有苍鹭和半身像的凹版印刷品
编号 88549799
A finely carved ancient Roman amethyst intaglio depicting a heron and a bust. The back of the bird's body transforms into a male bust, with a fish behind. The reverse is highly polished and undecorated. The amethyst presents with a beautiful translucent purple. Some minor scratches to the surface as consistent with its age. This piece is supplied with a museum-quality impression.
The term intaglio refers to a small image that has been engraved into a gemstone and usually set in a piece of jewellery, most commonly a ring. Such artistic form has its origin in Sumer in the 4th millennium BC, with the appearance of cylinder and stamp seals, whereby decorations and patterns were engraved into soft stones. During the Hellenistic period and the early Roman Empire, the art of intaglio reached its apogee, with there being a steady decline in craftsmanship in the late Imperial Rome, until a revival of interest with the Byzantine and during the Renaissance.
Measurements: L 1.1cm x W 1cm
Provenance: From the collection of a Swiss gentleman formed in Europe from 1970-1980s; thence by descent from the family in London.
