 Eoman Sculpture. 219 lection, by Tryphon, a cameo-cutter of celebrity who lived somewhat later than Alexander. There is now in the British Museum a fine collection of engraved gems, which is as yet comparatively little known. The stones on which these cameos are cut are of very great beauty ; they were probably obtained from the East. Fig. 93. — Terra-cotta Vase.
