An agate cameo or bas-relief depicting the Pietà, carved by Michele Scala.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The image depicts an artistic sculpture carved into stone (a cameo or agate bas-relief), isolated against a black background. 
Based on the details:
The main subject: The composition depicts a Pietà (or a scene of mourning), with the Madonna holding the lifeless body of Christ in her arms. 
The expression and style: The Virgin’s face is marked by an intense expression of grief and contemplation, while the bodies and the drapery of the garments are modeled with great care, making use of the stone’s natural color layers.
Work by Master Michele Scala
