Double- layered agate cameo. Bust of a youngster, turned to the left. The Apollonian face of the subject, characterised by a wavy and thick hairflow and a classic profile (linear and well proportioned), recalls the iconography of Antinoo. Pleasant work, skilfully made, considering its tiny size. End of the 18th - beginning of the 19th century.
