About the Item

A hardstone cameo depicting a swan in octagonal gold collet settings. Top size 18mm x 13mm Size 4 1/2 Weight: 11.83gr. In Greek art, beginning at least in the Archaic period, Aphrodite was sometimes depicted with a swan, a symbol of good health, music, divination, and grace. In Roman times, Latin poets, such as Ovid and Horace, also referred to the goddess in her chariot being drawn through the air by swans.
