About the Item

A rare and captivating example of 19th-century lapidary art, this finely carved bust portrays an Arab figure in remarkable detail, sculpted entirely from natural amethyst. Measuring 3 x 2 x 1 cm, the piece embodies both technical mastery and cultural elegance, reflecting the romantic fascination with the Orient during the period. The rich, translucent purple of the amethyst enhances the sculptural quality, with careful attention given to the facial features, turban, and expression—revealing the hand of a skilled artisan. Likely intended as a cabinet piece or a bespoke jewel element, this miniature artwork is both an objet de vertu and a cultural artifact.
