Item History & Price

Offered is a fine large shell cameo brooch. It features a scene that an expert friend described as "Ezekiel's Vision" . It is after the painting by Raphael. It is said to be in scripture, a vision of God in his majesty. In the depiction, God is surrounded by angels and several animals with wings- an eagle, a winged bull, and a winged lion. Looks much like the painting. I have never seen this subject on a cameo. It is signed on the back, looks like "Titus" with some other markings-... 5, and a +. The cameo is set in a 9K frame with a fine roped border, original c clasp and t hinge with a safety chain. Circa 1870-80. It measures 2 1/4" by 1 3/4" and weighs 24.1 grams. Good relief and detail, bursting with action, this would be of interest to those collecting religious scenes in cameos. Thank you for looking, and please see my other listings for more cameos and vintage jewelry items both fine and costume!
