Roman Garnet Cameo of Eros the Greek God of Love
1st century A.D. or laterSold for (Inc. bp): £780
Discoid in plan with a high-relief plastic head of Cupid (Greek Eros). 0.42 grams, 8 mm
Private English collection, formed between the late 1970s and early 1990s. Private collection, London, UK.
The finely engraved head on the cameo represents a young child, probably intended as Eros (Cupid). Such depictions were produced in numerous variations to illustrate the stages of childhood and the capacity of children to undertake meaningful or symbolic actions. The high relief type appears to have been especially popular and was probably derived from metalwork, like the plaster medallion from Begram, Afghanistan. -
