Roman Orange Jasper Gemstone with Scorpion

拍品描述

2nd-3rd century A.D. With intaglio scorpion motif; supplied with a museum-quality impression. 0.91 grams 14.33 mm (1/2 in.). [No Reserve] From the private collection of a European gentleman (1942-2024), formed since the 1970s. It is possible that the intaglio was once part of a ring carried by a Pretorian guardsman, as the scorpion was one of their emblems.
