Machined cornelian intaglio, rectangular in plan and profile, with faceted edges that have been water-worn and rounded, depicting a bearded man facing right with a band across the forehead over neat combed hair.
"The rectangular shape and the bevelled edges suggest a neo-classical date, probably 18th century. But without a setting to help it is often impossible to date engraved gems as the techniques used do not change." (Judy Rudoe pers comm)
