A fine agate cameo set in a gold brooch. Bust of Hermes.
18th century.
The bust of the deity is depicted frontally, with only one shoulder covered by the cloak. The face is slightly reclined three-quarters, with the eyes in an expression of sweet melancholy. Refined execution, of great beauty. The stone is characterized by a mirror polish and intense color. The subject is inspired by the graeco-roman statuary models.
Stone 26 x 34 mm; 14,69 gr.
