A banded agate female bust set in a gold stick pin.

18th century

H. 95 mm 8.36 gr

The figure is characterized by a veiled head, partially draped torso with large exposed breasts. The bust is finely sculpted, emphasizing in the best way the beauty of this banded agate, engraving the body in the dark part and the drapery in the light part of the stone. The nose is damaged. This microsculpture is set in an elegant mounting adorned with plant motif, finely chiseled.
