Description
Northern Europe, Neoclassical period, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. An attractive amber-hued glass intaglio depicting the head of a Classical figure in profile - perhaps Hera (Juno being Roman equivalent) - the wife and one of three sisters of Zeus (Jupiter in Roman pantheon). She is crowned with a polos and presents a solemn countenance. This intaglio is wrapped in a slender black leather strip. The Neoclassical period saw immense northern European interest in the Classical world, in part inspired by the budding science of archaeology. Artists looked to the deep past for inspiration, yet brought an imaginative sensibility to their depictions of ancient iconography. Size: 1.75" L x 1.375" W (4.4 cm x 3.5 cm)
