A roman onyx cameo. Head of Alexander the Great.
3rd century A.D.
15 x 18 x 10 mm.
The ruler is facing right, with the leontea on his head. Typical iconography of Alexander the Great, after the greek coinage. The cameo is carved in high relief on a two-layered nicolo agate: the portrait in the whitish cerulean part; the background is dark. Small lack at the bottom and chips on the back.
