AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Special Cameo Brooch with Three Angels (putti) – Rare Motif
Special cameo brooch with a rare portrayal of three angels (putti), set in a richly decorated, gold-colored frame with floral engravings.
Description
The rectangular cameo shows a detailed relief of three winged angels, also known as putti, depicted in a playful composition. The angels are rendered in white relief against a warm brown-orange background. The middle angel appears to be dancing, while the two other angels are shown on either side.
The scene is notable for its relatively rare motif of three separate angels. While traditional cameos typically feature female portraits or classical profile depictions, this piece stands out for its lively, narrative composition.
The cameo is mounted in a wide, gold-colored frame with a fluted outer edge. The frame is richly adorned with engraved floral motifs, graceful scrolls, and fine decorative details.
