Description:
This exceptional agate cameo, in a free-form, imaginative style, depicts a stylized female profile with clean, modern lines. The deliberately asymmetrical design makes particularly effective use of the agate's natural layering: the light, finely sculpted face stands out clearly against the darker, curved layers, creating a strong sense of depth.

The facial features are rendered calmly and with restraint, giving the profile a timeless, almost meditative quality. The curved outer contour follows the motif and underscores the sculptural character of this work.

The artist Erwin Pauly's (Deperanza) signature on the reverse confirms the artistic provenance of this gem. Due to its free form and expressive composition, it is particularly suitable for individual jewelry settings or as a standalone collector's item of modern glyptics.
