Description
ITALIAN, 19TH CENTURY
CAMEO WITH A BUST OF THE APOLLO BELVEDERE
onyx, with a gold loop and set with a glass paste to the reverse
stone: 4cm. 1½in.
Compare with a cameo of the Apollo Belvedere carved by Luigi Saulini (1819-1883) formerly in the Milton Weil collection and now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (inv. no. 40.20.55a-c). The present cameo is likely to be a little earlier, however, and date to the early 19th century.
