Cameo with a Youth
chalcedony, in an early 19th-century ring mount
cameo: 26mm., 1in.
UK ring size: T
The unusual presentation of the youth, represented frontally and carved in high relief, recalls a 18th-century cameo thought possibly to represent the young Augustus and inscribed AELIOS (in Greek letters) in the Royal Collection (inv. no. RCIN 65810).
