Catalogue Note
La pierre, une agate jaspée assez rouge (également appelée agate d'Allemagne ou jaspe translucide) est proche de celle du vase de la collection Mazarin (op. cit, cat. 105, p. 249-250). On trouve également une coupe assez proche en forme de coquille dans la collection du Museum d'Histoire Naturelle que nous reproduisons ici (7.176).
