A large banded agate intaglio set in a gold ring. Bacchante with Erote.
First half of 17th century.
Stone 25 x 30 mm; ring size 19 x 21 mm; 24,37 gr.
A bacchante proceeds to the right, playing a double flute. His tunic and cloak rise with the wind, giving a great sense of dynamism to the scene. An erote precedes her, advancing with a long torch in his left hand, a laurel frond in his left. Allegorical scene, engraved in an extraordinary variety of striated agate. Northern Italian workshop, probably from a "Bottega cisalpina". Very good condition.
Provenance: UK private collection.
