A button depicting the portrait of Bias of Priene, who lived in Ionia in the 6th century B.C. Ancient traditions regard him as the first of the Seven Sages. He had a reputation as a remarkable lawyer and is said to have died at a very advanced age in court after delivering a victorious closing argument. Last third of the 18th century. Diameter: 3.6 cm. Note: Glass from this period sometimes exhibits what is known as “glass disease.” This is what has happened to this button, significantly impairing its quality. The estimate takes this into account.
