A roman rock crystal intaglio. Gryllos.
1st century B.C.
13x14x3 mm
The hybrid creature is composed of two masks: a satyr characterized by small horns and a rural crown; a comedian actor, with bald skull and long beard. Very thin gem, with slightly cabochon back and beautiful transparency. Note the presence of a tooth in the satyr's mouth, with grotesque meaning. Refined execution. Rare subject. Beautiful brightness of the crystal.
