A Grand Tour agate cameo set in a gold brooch. Bust of a matrona.
18th century.
Draped bust of matrona, facing left. The hairstyle is referable to the Flavian era. Probably a portrait of a roman empress or a princess (Julia Titi?). The cameo, engraved on a two-layer agate, is mounted in an elegant 19th century brooch, with a mixtilinear frame, decorated with floral and vegetal elements (palmette, rosette, leaves). Very good condition.
cameo 19x29x5 mm; overall 44x60 mm; 21,48 gr.
