A large roman carnelian intaglio. Artemis.
2nd century A.D.
13 x 15 x 3 mm
The goddess of the hunt faces left, and wears a short tunic with a cloak; the quiver can be seen on the shoulders. The figure holds a frond with her left hand just above a column, while she brings her right hand towards her face. Behind the small column is the deer, her sacred animal. Votive and devotional representation referable to the cult of Artemis. Beautiful composition. Attractive color of the stone. Chipping on the edge.
U.K private collection, London.
