拍品专文

The fine portrait on this convex ringstone depicts a young man in profile with a full head of wavy locks. He has a large unarticulated eye and a prominant aquiline nose. Vollenweider considered it one of the most beautifully engraved portraits of the period. Sangiorgi compared the gem to a bronze portrait of Cato the Younger found at Volubilis, now in the Rabat Archaeological Museum, since the hair style and aquiline nose are similar (see pl. 2 in F. Poulsen, "Caton et le Jeune Prince," Acta Archaeologica XVIII).
