Goddess Flora
Materials: shell.
Date and origin: ca 1820-30.
Size of the cameo: 1 3/8 by 1 1/16 inch
Condition: flawless.
Superb small Italian cameo, crisply carved to depict the profile of the goddess Flora.
The profile is in Neoclassical style, and reflects the Italian taste of that Era (I.e. large eyes, straight nose).
Higly desirable.
