Cameo with a woman


chalcedony within a ring mount

cameo: 23mm., 7/8 in.

UK ring size: T 1/2

The matt surface and the facial type of this curious cameo recall carvings by the Miseroni. Compare with the bust of a woman from the Miseroni workshops, early 17th-century, in the Museo degli Argenti (inv. no. 180).
