Red jasper intaglio: portrait head of Mark Antony

The engraver has cut an exceptionally clear profile portrait, with long tousled hair, the locks carefully delineated, and no beard. The nose is hooked, the slightly open mouth down-turned, and the chin prominent. The features resemble those of Antony on some of his coin portraits, and the bust ends at the neck. The intaglio may have been used as a seal by one of Mark Antony's supporters.
