About the Item
This finely carved antique shell cameo depicts the mythological scene of Mercury Presenting an Infant, rendered in exquisite high relief. Mercury, identifiable by his winged helmet, gracefully offers the child forward while a seated woman receives him with tender arms, creating a powerful composition of divine protection and maternal care. The carving is enhanced by exceptional detail in the drapery, figures, and background setting. The cameo is mounted in a gold-plated copper alloy frame with a classic engraved border, complementing the warmth and elegance of the design. A beautiful example of neoclassical inspiration in jewelry, this brooch pin captures both artistry and timeless mythological symbolism, making it a distinguished addition to any antique collection.
