The high relief hardstone cameo depicting the profile of the goddess Flora, amid an elaborate oval frame embellished by intricate wirework and a row of delicate flowers, in 18k gold

Dimensions: 38 x 45 mm
This hardstone cameo is carved from banded agate, and makes exceptional use of the natural layered colours. The laurels framing the hair are one layer of orange, the figure is a white layer, and the background is a further orange layer, all carved from one gem. The carving is very fine quality, and the work is excellent.
The gold frame with many of the delicate flowers bent or deficient, otherwise in good condition with the cameo intact
