A large early roman carnelian intaglio. Apollo.

1st century B.C.

The divinity is standing, with the frontal body and the head turned to the right in three quarters. The god leans on a column with his left arm, while with his right he holds the lyre. The young body is partially draped, with the torso and hips uncovered. The head is characterized by long hair that falls to the shoulders. The pose is elegant, inspired by the hellenistic greek models. Intaglio engraved with great technical and artistic skill. Mirror polishing. Slight wear marks.

15 x 24 x 4 mm.
