Description

"A famous work in which Pignoria identifies the Egyptian deities depicted on the Isiac Table, supposedly an ancient Egyptian bronze (or stone?) plaque...[also sometimes described as copper overlaid with black enamel and silver incrustations or as bronze, decorated with silver, copper and niello inlay]...Some authorities speculate that...Pignoria was the first antiquary to offer an explanation of [the tablet's] meaning. Of interest to the gemologist is the fact that Pignoria used antique engraved gems [incl. examples of abraxas gems] to exemplify ancient customs, mores, and rites which he then employed in deciphering the meaning of the tablet."--Gemology, by J. Sinkankas, entry no. 5137.
