Antique Victorian 10K Yellow Gold Bacchante Cameo Brooch

About the Item

This exquisite Victorian cameo brooch features Bacchante, a female follower of Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, revelry, and intoxication, known in Greek mythology as Dionysus. Bacchante is depicted in a moment of abandon, her face expressing the joy and fervor of the Dionysian rituals. Grapes are woven into her hair, a clear nod to Bacchus' association with the vine and the harvest, symbolizing fertility and the pleasures of wine. Her wild, untamed appearance is further emphasized by the panther draped around her neck, animals and the primal, untethered forces of nature often associated with Bacchus and his followers. The finely carved details reflect the high level of craftsmanship typical of Victorian-era cameos. Set in an ornate gold frame, featuring scrolling design, adds to its visual appeal. The gold frame not only serves as a beautiful contrast to the cameo itself but also elevates the piece, making it a striking and sophisticated accessory.
