I'm very pleased to offer this so lovely cameo with an excellent quality carving. This cameo brooch depicts a bacchante. Bacchantes were followers of Bacchus (or Dionysus), the God of wine. The frame is more than spectacular, flowers and intricately gold work, 18 k gold . This is a wonderful work of art, very detailed cameo. Small cameo but of great effect when worn. Rarest cameo and frame very desirable collectors' piece. Thanks for looking!
