A large agate cameo set in a silver frame. Bust of the emperor Hadrian.

17th - 18th century.

42 x 53 x 12 mm; 21,95 gr.

Exceptionally large italian agate cameo, probably 17th century, depicting the draped bust of the roman emperor Hadrien, facing left. Probaly removed from a larger object (casket?). Beautiful variery of agate, from a brownish honey tone to the transparent tone.

From the collection of Raphael Esmerian (1903-1976).
