AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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

Technical peculiarity: the engraver worked the Cassis Rufa in depth, down to the substrate of the shell, rather than limiting to the usual superficial work. This technique enables the distinctive inverse chromatic contrast.

Handcrafted by a Master Engraver from Torre del Greco, the artistic capital of cameo art.
Weight 18.75 g
Cameo dimensions 61.3 mm (height) × 47.2 mm (width)
It will be shipped with gift packaging and material warranty.
