A roman bloodstone intaglio. Eros hunter.
1st - 2nd century A.D.
9 x 12 x 3 mm
The winged child is depicted in the act of hitting a goat with a weapon, holding it by a paw. At his feet, the body of a dying prey. In the background, a tree. On the back of the bezel: the initial letter of the owner's name (in the style of the seals), presumably engraved during the 18th century. Unusual piece. Attractive vivid color of the stone. Light chipping on the edge. Wear marks.
