Description:

Egypt, Roman Period, ca. 1st - 3rd century CE. An expectional glass micro-mosaic of Horus, the Egyptian Falcon-headed god. Horus is depicted in profile, with white cheeks, black feathers, red eye and beak detail, as well as green and white striped chest detail, all set against a cobalt blue background. Micro-mosaic's, like this piece, were made in long canes which were then cut into about three pieces, all showing the same image. In the case of this particular image, we have the honor knowing where all three micro-mosaics are located, one here with Antiquities Saleroom, another recently with a dealer in Washington DC, and the third being in a private collection. 14mm x 14mm Provenance: Ex-M. Carini Collection, CA. All items in this auction have been legally acquired, are legal to sell, and guaranteed to be as described or your money back. A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids, papered by our parent company, Artemis Gallery Ancient Art. The starting price is the lowest price at which the lot can sell.
