Product Information
Product code: T851 Categories: Antique, Antique Brooch, Antique Cameo.$2,900.00
Here is a very large antique cameo of Zeus and Hera dating from the 1880’s that measures an impressive 6.9cm wide by 8.1cm and will make such a wonderful and eye catching accessory to any outfit and will surely get the attention and admiration that it rightly deserves.
Cameos of this size are so rarely found, and with such a large “canvas” of shell, the engraver of this cameo was able to put in so much exquisite detail, that was all done by hand many years ago.
Today many cameos are mass produced and not hand carved, resulting in them all being the same however nothing beats the quality and individual look and style of one that has been carved by hand.
Depicting Zeus with his wife Hera, there is also an eagle at the bottom, the Aetos Dios, which was a giant golden eagle which served as Zeus’s personal messenger and animal companion.
With a border of white from the shell that highlights the cameo so beautifully, and with wonderful proportions, this is an antique cameo that will most certainly stand out and be admired from near or far.
