This remarkable intaglio is one of the finest carvings by celebrated Roman gem engraver, Luigi Pichler, to appear on the market in recent years.
-
Created in around 1810, it shows a man crowned by a laurel wreath, and swathed in a lion skin - a telling sign that this figure is in fact the Greek demigod Hercules.
-
One of the wonderful things about carved gems is that they can be illuminated from behind to splendid effect, revealing even the tiniest of details. Find out more at the link in bio, or in our IGTV video with specialist @ChristophersMason (skip to 17:40).
-
Pop into our London galleries this weekend to see the piece in person. The auction is open for bidding until Thursday!
