Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ...or favourite, were doubtless smashed to atoms upon the death or downfall of the originals; gem-portraits sharing the fate of their colossal brethren in bronze or marble, when, the day of retribution coming, Descendunt statute restiinque sequuntur. I have met with numerous examples, to all appearance, of this execution done in effigy; for instance, a Commodus with his titles--an important piece in red jasper--evidently fractured intentionally; a Caligula, also with a legend; and the fine Caracalla of the British Museum (Townley Gems), t In conclusion, to return to certain particulars but slightly noticed in the foregoing sections, though of considerable weight in the distinguishing of the antique from modern imitations. Firstly, it is.an invariable rule that all antique designs are marked by an extreme simplicity. Earely does the composition include more than two figures, or if others be introduced, they are treated as mere accessories, and only indicated in outline. To this branch of art Horace's maxim can be applied with but slight variation: --This strange head-covering is first assumed on the coinago of Egypt, by Cleopatra Selene, whose son, Ptolemy Alexander, also figures in the same. It is probable that he takes in this way the character of the Libyan Hercules, as his Macedonian rivals did of the lion-clad Theban demi-god. To see in this singular ornament nothing deeper than a commemoration of his strength in war elephants (the usual explanation) is simply absurd. t About the time of Severus a fashion came in of adding appropriate mottoes to ladies' portraits, doubtless gages d'amour. A Blacas nicolo with a male bust on obverse, a female on reverse, has the field round the latter filled with monograms, out of...

Excerpt from Antique Gems and Rings, Vol. 2: Illustrations Aztec Lapidary Skill - A very common ornament in the Ometepec (nicaragua) graves is a string of beads, sometimes of chalcedony, and sometimes of lava. The piercing of the latter is wonderful. Many of the beads are an inch in length, ringed all over, and pierced with a hole as fine as ordinary thread. The whole head is no thicker than twine, and most brittle. Had we not seen such wonders before, we never could have deemed such fine work possible without tools of metal. The chalcedony beads are very much larger; they are handsomely rounded and polished, and the hole is carefully bored. Ten to fifteen formed a necklace or bracelet, from which we may conclude, either that they were only worn by children, or else that feathers or other perishable ornaments were interspersed. (boyle's Ride Across a Continent, ii. Aztec Sculpture, executed without metal tools - Boyle found upon Mount Mombacho, near Grenada, many monumental portrait statues, life-size, executed with great fidelity to nature, and carved out of basalt, a material which, even in the ancient world, was only attempted by the Egyptians. He figures specimens which perfectly bear out his description and praise in his Ride Across a Continent, ii. P. 43.
