Art in ancient Greece
An engraved gem is a small gemstone , usually semi-precious , [ 1 ] that has been carved, in the Western tradition normally with images or inscriptions only on one face. The engraving of gemstones was a major luxury art form in the ancient world, and an important one in some later periods. [ 2 ] Strictly speaking, engraving means carving in intaglio, with the design cut into the flat background of the stone, but relief carvings, with the design projecting out of the background as in nearly all cameos , are also covered by the term. The activity is also called gem carving , and the artists gem-cutters . References to antique gems , and intaglios in a jewellery context, will almost always mean carved gems. Vessels like the Cup of the Ptolemies and heads or figures carved in the round are also known as " hardstone carvings " and similar terms.

It is used in the visual arts to describe a human figure standing with most of its weight on one foot so that its shoulders and arms twist off-axis from the hips and legs.
