A PAIR OF CARNELIAN ETRUSCAN SCARABS SET IN GOLD EARRINGS. VARIOUS SUBJECTS.
Scarabs: 4th-3rd century B.C.; mounting 19th century.
Stone 11x15 mm; total weight 8,9 gr
Both scarabs are characterized by the same certainly ancient globular style and wear marks. The subjects are to be identified, but for one specimen it should be a warrior, for the other one probably horses. The stones are mounted in Castellani-type archaeological revival gold settings. The closures are missing.
