In the jasper a very articulated and complex scene of sacrifice is engraved, composed of five characters, three to the left of a circular altar with a statue of divinity and intent on leading a ram, and two to the right of the altar. This subject is not at all common in the Roman glyptic repertoire and the few examples of comparison place this example in a series of the proto-imperial age in the second half of the 1st century BC and suggest the production of a workshop in Aquileia
