Hunting scenes are the most common subject for gems of the Cambridge Group, to which this gem has been attributed; most are scaraboids. In this group, the hunter is dressed in the Persian manner and rides a horse or pursues on foot and is typically armed either with a bow or spear. The prey can be either a lion, goat, boar, or, as here, a bear. For other gems of this group, see pls. 924-930 in Boardman, Greek Gems and Finger Rings.
