A roman chalcedony intaglio. Alexander the Great.
1st - 2nd century A.D.
The king of the Macedonians faces right and wears a leontea on his head. The face is in profile and is characterized by its typical features. The carving is done with a certain spontaneity. Beautiful variety of chalcedony. Slight signs of wear.
