Cameo agate “Woman’s Bust” oval – 21 × 28 mm Artist: Jürgen Reinhardt

Hand-carved agate cameo with figural motif

This oval cameo made of natural agate depicts a woman's bust in profile. Facial features, hair, and shoulder line are clearly and plastically worked out. The composition focuses on the profile motif with smooth lines and clearly delineated relief areas.

The foreground appears in a uniform cream tone. The background forms a reddish to reddish-brown agate layer, which contrasts with the profile all around. The color gradations follow the natural layering of the agate. The surface is smoothly finished.

The cameo is cut in an oval shape. The artist's signature is on the back.
