Description

A large postclassical jasper cameo. Bust of a bearded character.

18th - 19th century.
39x47x10 mm

Identifiable perhaps with the effigy of a scientist (the face reminds the astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564-1642), the character is facing left and is characterized by a thick beard, partially bald skull; the man wears a shirt with a button on the collar, here open, and above a heavy jacket with a large folded collar, and above again a cloak, carved with details. The head is in profile while the bust is almost in front. Large cameo. Interesting variety of stone. Small chips on the edge.
