A fine roman carnelian fragmentary intaglio. Hercules with the bull.

1st century B.C.

Nice fragment with Hercules raising and defeating the Cretan bull. The hero is facing left, depicted with his back seen in three quarters from behind. The legs are spread apart for the effort. Groundline. Beautiful execution, inspired by Greek models. Fragmentary gem with a large miss at the top and a chip on the edge.

11x14x2 mm

Provenance: UK private collection.
