A greek late hellenistic amethyst intaglio. Panoplia.
3rd - 2nd century B.C.
14x23x6 mm
In the center, a Macedonian-type helmet, behind, two crossed double axes. On the sides, two greaves. In the field, three greek letters (Gamma, Beta, Theta). Rare composition, very detailed, well balanced and engraved with great technical mastery, inspired by coinage. Presence of globular elements. Macedonian military emblema. Intense color. Gem with convex surface and flat back. The helmet is very similar to that depicted in a garnet (Munich, Antike Munzsammlung). Parallels: AGDS n. 234; AGDS Munchen, n. 384. For a very close type see D. Plantzos, Hellenistic engraved gems, n. 650.
Provenance: UK art market.
