A stunning high relief portrait of a young female character, possibly a nymph. She is depicted with the shoulders seen from the back and the face in an elegant torsion is looking upward toward right. She is characterized by very long hair, hold by a band and falling on the back slightly draped. The work is executed with great artistic mastery and technical skill. The gold brooch is finely decorated with a foliated frame with flowers.
Provenance: U.K. collection, acquired on the british art market.
