[View larger image][Add to photograph album]

  • Reference Number: T91
  • Description: PLUTO CARRYING OFF PROSERPINE IN A QUADRIGA
  • Inscription Greek: ΑΠΟΛΛΟΝΙΔΟΥ
  • Signature: Apollonides
  • Literary Source Record: Homeric Hymn to Ceres
  • Current Collection: Bonhams, London
  • Previous Collections:
    • Catalogue des pierres graves antiques de S.A. le Prince Stanislas Poniatowski ([1830?]-1833)
    • Christie's, London
    • Prendeville, J.: Explanatory catalogue of the proof-impressions of the antique gems possessed by the late Prince Poniatowski and now in the possession of John Tyrrell, Esq. (1841)
    • Private Collection
  • Material: Cornelian
  • Comments: The gem is not listed in the 1839 Christie's sale catalogue - probably it was thought it duplicated the previous entry (T90, lot 355). The sale is undoubtedly the source in which it was acquired by Tyrrell.
