A disc in translucent blue and opaque white cameo glass. The disc has been cut down from a larger composition. The decoration, in white, shows the upper part of a young man in profile, gazing to the right; the forefinger of his right hand is raised towards the chin expressing doubt or consternation. --The British Museum
