This object qualifies for free USA shipping and a flat rate fee of $60 if shipping internationally.
椭圆形黑玛瑙凹版上雕刻着狼獾（即人与动物部位的复合体），描绘了一个男人的上半身与一只狼的上半身融合在一起的场景。
Grylloi 源自意大利语grillo （“怪物”）和拉丁语gryllus （“漫画”），是古罗马人喜爱的题材。据说艺术家们喜欢用各种部位组合来创造这些奇妙的生物，尽管某些组合似乎比其他组合更受欢迎。尽管毫无疑问，Grylloi 对罗马人来说非常有趣，但它也有更严肃的用途；人们认为它们是护身符，可以抵御邪恶之眼。据说它们的奇异性可以“吸引邪恶之眼，从而减轻其对受害者的伤害。”
