A roman agate intaglio. Zeus Sarapis, Isis and Harpokrates.
2nd - 3rd century A.D.
15 x 17 x 5 mm
The three characters are standing turned on the right side. The goddess Isis holds a sistrum in her left hand and a jug in her right, Harpokrates holds a horn of abundance in his right; Sarapis holds a scepter in his right. Isis wears plants on her head, and Sarapis the modius. Interesting iconography in reference of the egyptian osiriac triad. Stone is broken on the lower part. Nice color of the stone. Slight wear marks and little traces of burns.
