| Description | Sommerville: An Intaglio on Sardonyx. This archaic intaglio, with No. 933, Case GGG, is one of the most curious and interesting, not only of my collection, but of all intaglios ever found. It gives us the tradition of naming the days of the week, more easily explained in French for evident reasons. Intaglios and Their Imprints, Case CCC. Vermeule: Carnelian-Sardonyx. Intaglio. (Impression) 7 deities representing the 7 days of the week. Graeco-Roman. |
