ENGRAVING UPON AGATE.                169
One of the most remarkable engravings upon agate, and one of the finest specimens of this stone, is represented by Fig. 74. It is the bust of Alex­ander the Great. The head is carved in relief, and
its colour is quite different from that of the ground­work of the stone. It is set in a superb frame of enamelled gold.
