Europe, United Kingdom, Victorian Period, ca. 19th century CE. A striking translucent purple and opaque pale purple glass intaglio depicting the head of Athena with elaborate crested war helmet. This time period saw immense northern European interest in the Classical world, in part inspired by the budding science of archaeology. Artists looked to the deep past for inspiration, but brought an imaginative sensibility to their depictions of it. Size: 0.8" W x 1.1" H (2 cm x 2.8 cm)
