Neptune Driving over Waves
Not on view
Nothing is known about the Pelchinger, presumably a German, who signed his name in Greek on the front of this cameo, which reproduces a Renaissance intaglio in the British Museum, London. In his catalogue of the Weil collection Ernst Kris said that the inscription could denote an owner rather than an artist, but an owner would have had less cause than an artist to Hellenize his name.
