A NEOCLASSICAL AGATE CAMEO. BUST OF FLORA.
19th century

Interesting work characterized by a skilful use of the different layers of the agate. The effigy is turned to the left and its hair is held back by a band and decorated with a flower with leaves; on the shoulder, a goat's foot to symbolize the goatskin cloak. Small chip on the edge.
