An early renaissance agate cameo. Double portrait.
16th century.
20x25x3 mm
In the foreground, a bearded and laureated male bust portrait, sculpted in the reddish layer of the agate; in the background, carved in the light layer, another portrait, partially damaged (lacks and chipped nose). The male character, for some details, is close to some engraved effigies depicting Cosimo I dei Medici. Interesting double portrait, to be identified. Wear marks.
