拍品专文
Eros was an immensely popular subject on gems during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The god is most frequently depicted as a young boy or an infant, engaged in a variety of activities. He is sometimes paired with his love, Psyche, either represented as a young woman with butterfly wings or, as here, as a butterfly herself. For an engraved garnet, also from the 1st century B.C., with Eros depicted in a similar style, see the example in the Hermitage, no. 540 in D. Plantzos, Hellenistic Engraved Gems. For the composition of Eros approaching a butterfly on the ground before him, see the agate and the garnet ringstones, nos. 243 and 244 in M. Maaskant-Kleibrink, Catalogue of the Engraved Gems in the Royal Coin Cabinet, The Hague.
