Zodiac gems were popular in the 16th-century since they mirrored the Renaissance interest in astrological signs. Note the exceptional Arundel Zodiac, formerly in the Marlborough (and probably originally Gonzaga) collections which was sold in these rooms on 15 July 2021, lot 11. Several Zodiac gems are published in Tassie, and were reproduced in the 17th and 18th centuries.
