A 2nd c. BCE cameo of banded agate, used to great effect, to create a double portrait. BUT the museum info differs from the info in the exhibition at the , where I spotted it a few years ago. The foreground character is undoubtedly a Ptolemaic king, but is the background character Zeus-Ammon (ram's horns hidden by the king) or Hercules?

An image of the sun god Apollo reflects back from this golden-orange 1st c. BCE Roman sard intaglio. The warm colors are appropriate for this god, and his mane of curls are reminiscent of the portraits of Alexander the Great.

Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

The exhibition in Paris showcasing the sarcophagus of Ramesses the Great is reviving the debate of whether the Exodus occurred during the era of the king.

More 3D Minoan art fun - the breakable kind this time! I have at least three more posts to make about the 3D elements in Minoan art. The more I look, the more I find. And the more I look, the more modern a lot of it feels.
