A greek late minoan agate intaglio seal. A cow nursing a calf.

1450 - 1300 B.C.

14x26x13 mm

An antelope, facing right, suckles her cub. The animal lowers its head in a pose typical of this repertoire. The intaglio is made on a carnelian seal with passing through hole. Stylistic details and execution technique typical and consistent with the minoan glyptic production of the second half of the 2nd millennium. Wear marks. Parallels: M-L.
