Moulded with the profile bust of the goddess wearing her characteristic high crested Corinthian helmet. In brown and white glass paste meant to mimic real banded stone, like sardonyx. The disc was carved to expose the different colors of glass. For a similarly made cameo of Hercules in the Walters Art Museum, see inv. no. 47.183.
