A fine onyx cameo set in a gold ring. Male portrait.
16th - 17th century.
Stone 20 x 24 mm; ring size 16 x 20 mm; 8.22 gr.
Male portrait facing right. Probably a private portrait inspired by ancient Roman republican models. The cameo is sculpted on a two-layer onyx, the head and the frame have been engraved both on the white layer. The background, darker and bluish spotted, turns orange when backlit. The stone is mounted in a ring with an openable octagonal bezel (interlocking closure). Interesting work. Rare type. Very good condition.
