A fine roman rock crystal intaglio. Head of Hercules.
1st - 2nd century B.C.
The hero is facing right with viril features: thick curly beard and hair framing the face and letting the par uncovered. Eyebrows furrowed, nose wide and straight, and full lips. The style reminds the hellenistic representation of Hercules. Nice engraved polishing and sign of wears on the surface of the stone. Close to the Antonine portraits.
