Intaglio: Eagle Holding a Wreath and Perched on a Mountain
Roman
Red jasper intaglio with an eagle, body turned to the left, head to the right, holding a wreath in its beak and perched on the central peak of a mountain. A crescent moon and star are in the field at left and two stars in the field at right. The mountain is textured with vertical hatch marks and at the bottom center are circular shapes, perhaps representing caves.
