A LATE RENAISSANCE AGATE CAMEO SET IN A GOLD BROOCH. AN EXOTIC MALE PORTRAIT.

A LATE RENAISSANCE AGATE CAMEO SET IN A GOLD BROOCH. AN EXOTIC MALE PORTRAIT.

16th - 17th century

Stone 26x29 mm; Brooch 29x34 mm; 9,74 gr.

Possibly the portrait of a man "a la turque", bearded, with two long hair braids that descend from the intricate braid behind the neck. The dress closes in a V shape on the partially uncovered chest and is embroidered. Interesting subject that requires further study. The cameo is mounted in a brooch characterized by spherical elements.

Provenance: European collection, acquired on the market, early 2000's.
