Description
Paste vitree mescolate insieme di colore arancione e marrone a cabochon, di forma ovale, incise a tecnica mista: abbozzo eseguito con un trapano a punta sferica, mentre a rotella è eseguito il piumaggio. A mano libera con una punta fine sono incisi i dettagli del viso. Tracce di lavorazione. Il soggetto raffigurato è un Gryllos a doppia testa maschile separate dalla raffigurazione di un volatile, forse aquila ad ali chiuse con coda aperta a ventaglio. Incisione di notevole pregio.
Historical-Criticism news
Il soggetto è molto noto nella glittica romana di età imperiale; si veda per esempio G. Richter, Metropolitan Museum of art, New York, Catalogue of Engrawed gems, Greek, Etruscan and Roman, Roma, 1956, n. 547.
