A GRECO-PERSIAN CHALCEDONY SCARABOID WITH STANDING VULTURE AND CENSER – 5TH TO 4TH CENTURY B.C.
拍品描述:
This rare and symbolically rich Greco-Persian scaraboid, carved from luminous chalcedony, features an exquisitely detailed standing vulture beside a ceremonial censer burner.The composition is strikingly refined—every feather, talon, and ornamental element rendered with precision. The vulture, a potent symbol of divine watchfulness, transition, and spiritual purification, stands alert with wide, stylized “widget” eyes that add an aura of mysticism. The adjacent censer evokes sacred rituals, enhancing the amulet’s connotations of protection and connection to the divine. This piece blends Persian symbolism with Greek technical elegance, making it a miniature masterpiece of sacred iconography. 2.2 by 1.2 cm. Weight: 4.93 gr.
