About the Item
A Roman intaglio of the first century in garnet, mounted in 22kt gold, depicts a grasshopper, an unusual and rare representation. In antiquity, the grasshopper was also known as "fairy horse" because it was believed that it could protect from the effects of black magic, being considered a reincarnation of the souls of the deceased. Therefore, this depiction is intended to amplify the protective power attributed to the garnet, constituting a powerful amulet.
