Carnelian ring stone. Culture: Roman. Dimensions: Length: 1/2 in. (1.2 cm). Date: ca. 1st -3rd century A.D..This is a rare depiction of an artist at work. In his right hand, he holds a stick-like object that has a round knob at one end and is pointed at the other and slightly thickened, likely a brush. In his left hand, he holds another object, which is evidently not a mallet but perhaps a palette seen in perspective. Ancient marble sculpture was often brightly painted. The artist holds his tool lightly and is probably painting rather than modeling. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
