Description:
This delicate oval agate cameo depicts an elegantly sculpted woman's head in classic side profile. Despite its small size, the relief is extraordinarily finely worked: the facial features appear soft and balanced, the curly flowing hair is detailed and accented by a plastically elaborated floral ornament.

The natural layered structure of the agate is effectively used to clearly set off the light profile from the darker background. Gentle grey and blue tones give the depiction a calm, noble aura and emphasize the high quality of the stone cutting work.

The artist Jürgen Reinhardt's signature on the reverse confirms the artisanal origin of this cameo. Due to its fine execution, it is particularly suitable for filigree jewelry such as rings, small pendants, or brooches, as well as a high-quality collector's item of modern classical glyptics.
