The ancient Greek masterpiece etched on a tiny gemstone
Goldsmith Akis Goumas
Goldsmith Akis Goumas  is currently attempting to replicate the stone in hard wax or burnt clay to understand the movements  shape and size of the handheld tools used.
In tracing the tool marks on the sealstone   Goumas  speculates that the craftsman may have used a rotating wooden lathe with a sharp edge to engrave the stone.
 He  thinks one artisan did the basic  three-dimensional engraving while another completed the secondary work.
"It isn't one craftsman's work because we can see different qualities of dexterity in the synthesis "  he  told CNN over email.
While  Goumas  may soon have answers as to how  it  was fashioned 3 500 years ago  Stocker says we will probably never know how  it  came into the Griffin Warrior's possession.
