A large concave roman amethyst intaglio. Silenus.
2nd - 3rd century A.D.
24 x 34 x 11 mm.
Unusual work, propably from a provincial eastern atelier. A muscular Silenus advances to the left, holding the thyrsus with his left hand and a cup with his right hand. The choice of the amethyst is to be connected to the Dionysiac theme. Large cabochon gem, engraved in the concave inner part. Wear marks.
Provenance: UK private collection.
