About the Item

Five agate intaglios of varying size and age have been mounted in 18 karat gold settings. The settings are connected by golden balls made out of 18karat . They are threaded on a foxtail chain. The intaglios from left to right feature a sitting goddess with signature, carved in the 19th century out of brown agate. Then we see a two coloured agate with the head of a bearded satyr, carved in the 1st century A.C followed by the head of Athena, carved in cornelian in the early 19th century. Athena is followed by a goddess with a tree, Ceres, carved in brown sardonyx, 2. /3. A.C. Finally we see a women's head in profile, carved in the 19th century out of sardonyx. The center cameo of Athena has an old crack not visible to the naked eye
