Ancient Minerva Intaglio Pendant white gold possibly ZuniA remarkable intaglio pendant carved during the Roman period, circa 2nd century AD. Depicted is Minerva in full armour with spear, a quiver of arrows, cloak, and Corinthian helmet complete with a serpentine crest. The detail is phenomenal, particularly when it's used for its intended purpose which was to create wax imprint. The pendant mount is Georgian, circa 1800, crafted in 15ct gold and the hardstone is a beautiful deep mottled brown agate.
