A Roman Agate Cameo
C3D02681
Near oval in form, the banded agate cameo cut in two layers, depicting an ivory draped female bust facing left, on a dark-brown background.
The woman’s expression and coiffure recalls portraits of the empress Faustina the Younger, 130-175 AD, and was likely made at that time.
