An italian agate cameo set in a gold brooch. Female bust with a Medusa shield.
Early 19th century.
Stone 18 x 25 mm; 9,45 gr.
The divinity is presumably to be identified with Athena, characterized by her typical tunic and the hairs gathered, divided in the center of the forehead, usually covered by the helmet. Unusual is the presence of the shield attached to the face and bust of the figure; its size is smaller than usual but its allegorical and apotropic meaning, with the Medusa mask, always remains important. Rare.
Provenance: UK private collection.
