Antique Multi-Color Hardstone Cameo #50-1-2412
|
|
|
A truly magnificent carving of Athena wearing her shield depicting the aegis of Zeus. Although difficult to detect at first, unfortunately, the team of horses that once adorned the front of her helmet have been lost. It appears, however, that the antique, 18 karat yellow gold frame post dates the damage of what is evidently an early and exceedingly fine classical Cameo. Signed 'AP' on reverse and priced about half in consideration of the slight damage.
