Ca. 100-300 AD. A green jasper intaglio engraved with a seated and winged figure, facing left, and holding a laurel wreath in his right hand. The figure's wings are intricately detailed, with each feather delicately etched into the stone. The intaglio is set in a possibly later gold hollow ring of a round hoop with expanded shoulders that add a sense of grandeur and elegance to the piece. The figure depicted in the intaglio is likely a representation of a deity or hero from Roman mythology. The laurel wreath in his hand is a symbol of victory and triumph, suggesting that the figure is a champion or conqueror of some kind. The seated posture and wings suggest that the figure is a god or other supernatural being, imbuing the intaglio with a sense of otherworldly power and majesty.Size: D: 17.45mm / US: 7 1/4 / UK: O 1/2; 17.21gProvenance: Private London collection; British art market 1990s.
