Toutes les enchères / Art Ancien / Cassis madagascariensis - Cameo - Hand-engraved cameo
Magnificent hand-carved cameo on Madagascar Cassis shell, made by G. Aversano, engraver belonging to the prestigious artistic tradition of Torre del Greco, the world capital of cameo art. This cameo depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine and ecstasy, corresponding to the Greek Dionysus. The piece is especially evocative because it does not portray the youthful god with an effeminate appearance, but rather a more archaic and solemn version, with a full flowing beard and the head crowned with grapevines and grape clusters, symbols of fertility, abundance, and the regenerating vigor of nature. The god’s hand, laid on the chest and surrounded by finely carved tendrils and grape clusters, underscores the bond with the vine, a sacred plant that in antiquity symbolized not only wine but also the cyclical rebirth of life and the immortality of the soul. Weight 32.45 g Cameo measurements 82.5 mm (height) x 65 mm (width) Will be shipped with gift packaging and a materials guarantee.
