This fabulous cameo depicts the god Apollo. Both cameo and frame are tipically Charles X's style. Carved in high relief (above all the head, this is a very unusual particular) by a master hand, this magnificent piece is extremely rare because the subject, condition, and all parts original. The bezel is superb and in perfect condition, with original pin and C clasp (there is not pendant bale).
