Attractive Neo-Classical intaglio in banded agate. Bust of a Maenad.

Refined, neoclassical banded transparent agate intaglio. Bust of a Maenad. The look is pointed upwards, as usual for this subject, the which was very popular in glyptics between the 18th and the 19th century. The elongated neck and the elaborate hair, which is bound by a band, enhance the elegance of this depiction. Remarkable engraving quality at the level of the anatomical rendering of face and bust. The face is intentionally centered in the lightest part of the gem. Unusual choice of the stone type, which is very rare. Mirror-finish polishing. Small chipping on the back. Beautiful work. mm 28 x 21 x 3
End of 18th century – beginning of 19th century
