A very fine Kushan carnelian intaglio. Portrait of a ruler.
1st - early 3rd century A.D.
12 x 16 x 3,5 mm.
The young ruler (or prince?) is facing left. He is characterized by hair held by a tenia with curls on the forehead and a slight barbula. Bust covered with a cloak and chlamys. It is closely related to roman gems of the same period. The discussion of the series is to be found inter alia in Callieri, P.
