A neoclassical three layers agate cameo, mounted on a brooch with emeralds and diamonds. Bust of an helmeted leader .
40 x 47 mm; gr. 22,56
The young character, identifiable with the Macedonian noble king and conqueror Alexander the Great, is turned to the right and wears armor barely visible under his cloak. His face is characterized by a linear profile and half-open lips. The head is protected by an imposing helmet with anthropomorphic shell (on a Renaissance model) and paragnatids (paragnathides) adherent to the cheeks. Fluent hair comes out elegantly from the neck roll. Work performed with expertise, (-to remove-: "with") excellent execution of delicately sculpted anatomical details. For the most visible part of the helmet, the more transparent layer of the agate was used, which precedes the opaque white layer below. The frame is in gold with 8 emeralds and 8 diamonds.Very good state of conservation. Very refined work.
End of the 18th century - Beginning of the 19th century.
