Italian job.
"Cupid teasing Venus"
This is therefore a large agate cameo representing cupid in the guise of a winged cherub fun to tease and to strip naked and Venus sitting with a vase at her feet.
beautiful scene very detailed and remarkable finesse of the sculpture for only 4.3 cm.
the cameo is broken into several parts probably for a long time may be at hand, but remains homogeneous!
mount gilded silver chain and gold brooch recently rehabilitated.
