An amethyst cameo. Head of a Silenus. The face of the corpulent Silenus is turned to the left, and characterized by a coronet of ivy leaves, tied on the nape by a ribbon, and a thick beard. The eye (on which the iris is engraved through a globular cavity of very small dimentions) is protruding; the forehead and the cheekbone are jutting. Interesting rendering of anatomical details (ear) and beard, which is inspired by ancient models. A work carried out in accentuated high-relief, with small undercuts. Attractive gem quality of the stone, whose back shows a concave carve in the center, conceived to give more brightness to the cameo. Mirror-finish polishing. Wear marks on the border. Rare. 17th - 18th century.
16 x 21 x 9 mm.
