A reverse intaglio carving done in Indian bloodstone featuring a boar and the phrase Vi Et Virtute which translates into something along the lines of through strength and courage.
A reverse intaglio is a carving that is done with the intention of it being used as a wax seal so that the impression left in the wax is able to be read correctly. These have traditionally most often been used as signet rings.
This was a commission piece I carved recently. If you would like your own reverse intaglio carving done please contact me.
