<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 426036, member: 5833"]It is actually quite large compared to the majority of early intaglios, which were the right size & shape to be set in a ring. The overall shape fascinates me nearly as much as the engraving. Not a standard geometric shape, not easy to get so close to symmetrical. Have never seen any ancient gem with such an eccentric shape; surprised they do not comment on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
