A renaissance agate cameo. Female bust
16th century A.D.
30 x 38 x 9 mm
The figure is turned to the right, with the torso almost frontal and the head in profile. With her right hand she holds a flower, her breasts are uncovered and a precious necklace with a floral pendant rests in the middle. The lady has her hair gathered and wears a teardrop earring. The cameo is engraved in well polished high relief. The figure carved in the ivory white layer is well distinguished from the cerulean blue background, typical of this Renaissance production. The attributes that characterize this elegant figure (flower, jewelry) refer to beauty, vanity and love. The stone is mounted in a nicely toned silver pendant.
U.K private collection, London.
