Cameo in oyster shell. The Sacrifice of Isaac.

Cameo in oyster shell (pearl white background, milky white in the upper layer). The Sacrifice of Isaac. God decided to test Abraham faith, commanding the sacrifice of his son Isaac. On the Moriah mount, while Abraham was going to sacrifice his son, an angel arrived to stop him. The depiction is the representation of this salient Biblical episode: the flying Angel stops Abraham’s hand, that was holding a dagger. On the right, a kneeling Isaac gives an additional dynamic sense to the depiction. mm 36 x 25 x 7
17th-18th century.
