Agate cameo. Bust of Odysseus.

Agate cameo. Bust of Odysseus. This iconography spread during the 18th and 19th century; the variants, except several specimens, were usually arranged with frontal bust (naked or tunicate) and bearded head in profile, with fluent hairdo with the typical pointed headgear (pileus). The engraver has a particular ability to use the stone’s layers, leaving the red pointed one used to the hairs, the beard, the headgear, the tunic and the background, excluding the face, the neck and the torso. This artistic intent intensifies the art work value, characterizing by a simple and linear model.
