T1117, THE SEA GOD TRITON SEIZING MISENUS [MISENE BY THE LEG]

  • Reference Number: T1117
  • Description: THE SEA GOD TRITON SEIZING MISENUS [MISENE BY THE LEG]
  • Inscription Greek: ΚΡΟΜΟΥ
  • Signature: Kromos
  • Current Collection: Unknown
  • 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)
  • Material: Sardonyx
  • Comments: T1118, with identical inscription, has a very similar description. Possibly it will emerge that the two show a progression of events (first seizing, than hurling). R. Schmidt found the impression and identified the subject of what is more likely T1118 (see alos the commentary for that record)..
