About the Item

Cameo, Apollo and Marsyas. Glass. Possibly, Italy, 19th century. Cameo or intaglio showing the tied satyr Marsyas, Apollo standing and holding the lyre, and kneeling Olympus. Compare the piece with the one known as the Seal of Nero, an intaglio that belonged to Lorenzo de' Medici (Farnese Collection) and is in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples in Italy. These types of pieces were created in a significant number as they were highly appreciated as souvenirs by Grand Tour travelers, often several being put together to make collections. · Size: 1,6x0,2x2 cm International Buyers – Please Note: for those articles that need Export Permits (those older than 100 years), the obtaining of the Permit will be processed without additional expenses (if you choose the seller sends it to you), but the period for the obtention of it may vary from 10 to 35 days.
