A large late hellenistic carnelian intaglio. Cornucopia.

2nd century B.C.

14 x 17 x 3,5 mm

This beautiful and well detailed cornucopia with ribbons is inspired by ptolemaic coins issues (see: Ptolemaic Kings of Egypt, Arsinoe II Philadelphos or Ptolemy III Evergetes and posthumus issues, mint of Alexandria). Emblema of good luck and abundance, elegantly composed. Use of globular elements. Slight wear marks. Attractive color of the stone.



U.K. private collection, London.
