彫刻, Bacchante hand carved cameo, signed - 38 mm - Shell

Genuine natural shell (Sardonyx) with a warm honey-colored background and creamy-white foreground. The reverse is hand-signed/inscribed with "Lee" and additional inventory markings, confirming its artisanal origin. Outstanding High Relief (3D effect); the profile and flowers stand out significantly from the base Front: Excellent antique condition with sharp, well-preserved details. When held to the light, the cameo shows natural internal "stress lines" or "firelines." These are common in organic antique shells and are not felt with a fingernail on the surface. They do not compromise the integrity of the piece and serve as a guarantee of its natural origin.
