<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 839807, member: 9204&quot;]I&#039;m trying to avoid it, but I have a small collection of antiquities. Two carnelian seal stones, a red glass cameo gem, and about twenty terra cotta bullae.<img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/18271/normal_Baktrian_cameo.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Baktrian </p><p>Red glass cameo</p><p>c. 185-180 BC</p><p>Diademed, draped bust of Euthydemos II</p><p>For bust, cf.

The reverse of the piece bears striations from papyrus&nbsp; or cloth and still bears the fingerprints of the official who pressed&nbsp; it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
