The flat stone is engraved with the figure of Perseus. The hero is nude except for a cloak draped over his back, stooping down to his winged feet, one foot on a circular object, the sword leaning between his legs, holding the frontal head of medusa in his outstretched hand, within a hatched border. For representations of Perseus on glyptic art see "Perseus", in LIMC, Vol. VII, pp. 33 and 341, nos 48a-b and 150b for earlier Etruscan gems.
