A large late renaissance agate intaglio. Seated Mercury.
Early 17th century.
33 x 40 x 4 mm.
Interesting and unusual representation of Mercury seated, with attributes. The divinity is facing right, sitting on a base (?) from which a tree seems to be born (allegory of Nature?). The god is naked, partially covered by a cloak resting on his thighs and also on the tree. The left foot rests on a small votive altar adorned with a garland. With his left hand he holds the winged caduceus, his magical scepter. Groundline. The intaglio is made on a large and extraordinary variegated agate with inclusions.
Provenance: UK private collection.
