AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful handmade cameo created by engraving on Cassis Rufa shell. Depicting the profile of a young woman with classical inspiration, enhanced by a rich floral arrangement.

Technical feature: the engraver carved the Cassis Rufa shell deeply, down to the substratum of the shell, rather than limiting to the usual shallow surface work. This technique yields the distinctive reverse color contrast.

Work handcrafted by Master Engraver of Torre del Greco, the artistic capital of cameo art.
Weight 21.28 g
Cameo dimensions: 72 mm (height) x 55.4 mm (width)

It will be shipped with gift packaging and a materials guarantee.
