Antique Early 19th Century Carnelian Intaglio Crest 14 Karat Gold Frame

About the Item

The oval carnelian intaglio shows a heraldic crest. Depicted is the outline of a shield with a helmet. Inside the shield a striding man with a beard dressed only with a loin cloth is holding a young tree with its roots in both hands. Out of the helmet on top of the shield comes the torso of a similar man, also clad only in a loin cloth and holding the identical small tree. This delicately carved intaglio was probably once mounted in a large seal dating to the end of the 18th century or early 19th century. Most likely the top of the seal was damaged and has been cut off to leave only the lower part that held the stone. The rose gold 14 karat mount was joined to a later 14 karat yellow gold ring. The dimensions of the intaglio in its mount are 2.7 x2.1 cm.
