    Roman Chalcedony Gemstone with Muse Euterpes
    1st century A.D.

    Estimate: £800 - 1,000 (+bp*)

    Opening Bid: £444

    The muse standing on a baseline with her head in profile, resting her left arm on a cithara, carrying a laurel branch in her extended right hand, the weight of the body resting on the right leg. 0.77 grams, 14 mm



    Acquired in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Important North West London collection.

    The muse is Euterpe, the muse of music as well as lyrical poetry. The motif can be related to numerous representations of Apollo, in which he appears leaning on a column on which the lyre or tripod is placed. It is a serial representation, based on statuary prototypes, which were widely copied by Hellenistic-Roman artisans, where the figure of Apollo, here, is transformed in that of the muse of music.
