Description

A neoclassical banded agate intaglio. Bust of Esculape.

19th century
19x19x5 mm

The god of medecine is facing left and characterized by an intense look releasing the serenity and divine strength, enhanced by the rest of the features: a strong aquiline nose, high cheekbone, small closed lips framed by a curly voluminous beard joining the hair on the side. The hair are divided in two by a band that narrows the skullcap with thin incised ligns. He wears a cloack. Interesting choice of stone. Fine execution. Mirror polishing.
