<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1275858, member: 5833"]The figure is Achilles, playing his kithara, sulking in his tent, so not that kind of label, which is seen on some gems, the identity of the subject. If by 'the artist' you mean the person who designed the art work, not the one who engraved the stone, that's a very interesting thought. These genitive forms are usually seen as being the name of the engraver or an owner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
