A roman magical abrasax heliotrope intaglio. Anguipes cock.
2nd - 3rd century A.D.
The hybrid figure is turned on the left. With the right hand he holds the solar whip; the left holds the round shield which is inscribed Ἰάω. On the reverse and on the edge, magical letters. Chip on the top edge and wear marks on both sides. Very nice color of the stone. Parallel : Mastrocinque, Attilio. Les intailles magiques du département des Monnaies, médailles et antiques. Paris : Bibliothèque nationale de France, 2014, p.116, n°303.
