These fine toned impressions are taken after intaglios. The Eros with the shell is after a greek carnelian scaraboid intaglio (coll. Blacas, in Boardman 1970, fig. 529, signed in greek by Phyghillos; Paoletti glass cast n. 328, Tomo I); the large one shown the “The wedding of Eros and Psyche”, signed C. Brown; it is a version inspired by the original sardonyx cameo signed TRYPHON EPOIEI, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: 99.101 (Beazley Archive, in Story-Maskelyne, M.H.: The Marlborough Gems (1870): no. 160; Boardman, J., Scarisbrick, D., Wagner C., Zwierlein-Diehl, E: The Marlborough Gems (2009): no. 1.
