Since a wife of a Roman Emperor was quite often deified after her death, the boundary between a human being and a deity was blurred in the Roman mind. This very fine portrayal of a noble lady presents a person of high stature, whether god or mortal, as indicated by the beautiful and elaborate hairstyle, the diadem and her dignified presence. Her hair is curled along the forehead and neck, with a bun at back and the upper portion swirling like curves of a seashell. This type of coiffure is also reminiscent of a style worn by aristocratic women in the 18th century. Masterfully engraved, this seal demonstrates the artistry that elevated the engraver's art to the level of sculpture.
