EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the magnificent Gemma Claudia, a remarkable cameo that transports us back to the glory of ancient Rome. Crafted in the 1st century, this five-layered sardonyx masterpiece is an exquisite testament to the artistic finesse and opulence of its time. The cameo features four distinguished profiles of Roman Emperors, each accompanied by their influential wives. On the left side, we are introduced to Claudius and his wife Agrippina the Younger, while on the right side stands Germanicus with his wife Agrippina the Elder. The intricate details bring these historical figures to life as they emerge from cornucopias symbolizing abundance and prosperity. An eagle gracefully perches below them, representing power and authority. Housed within Vienna's esteemed Kunsthistorisches Museum, this pendant holds immense historical significance. Its Indian sardonyx composition further adds to its allure and rarity.
