AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pin with a sardonic shell cameo!
The engraving, which depicts the profile of a young woman with an arch among her hair and a floral pattern on her dress, is handcrafted using the various chromatic layers of the shell.
Material of the cameo: Probably sardinian shell, known for its layers of red/brown and white/cream colors that create a strong contrast.
Technique: The relief image is created through gilded engraving of the shell, a traditional art, especially in places like Torre del Greco, Italy.
