A GREEK CARNELIAN INTAGLIO. GRIFFIN FIGHTING A SWAN.
4th century B.C.
10x12x2 mm
The griffin is attacking the swan toward the right side. The fantastic creature posture is tense and reflects her rapid attack meanwhile the position of the swan shows his surprise. Presence of globular elements and very fine details for the anatomical depiction. Great sense of composition. Wear marks and small chip on the edge.
