Description: | A clear red glass intaglio probably dating from between the Post-Medieval and Modern periods. The intaglio is sub oval in shape, with a cast copper alloy frame. The intaglio shows the bust of a man facing right, wearing a plumed helmet as its central motif while the reverse side is flat and undecorated. The back of the frame has five surviving moulded 'teeth', probably used to keep the intaglio in place; one has been broken off. The frame has been slightly bent forward at the top and the only damage to the intaglio is a small chip having been removed where the frame has been bent, including minor scratches to the back surface. The frame has a medium-dark green patina. For an intaglio with helmeted bust, please compare to PAS record ID: LANCUM-9D6B28.Length: 21.2mm; Width: 18.6mm; Thickness: 3.9mm; Weight: 2.9g
