Small Antique Cameo With Overlapping Portraits—desdemona And Othello?—three-layer Shell.
Artist: Grand Tour
Small shell cameo pendant in a metal setting.
Oval, three-color shell cameo—likely originally intended for a ring, given its size (2.5 cm x 1.8 cm), excluding setting.
Features a "jugate" portrait (overlapping profiles) of a couple: a female profile in foreground and a bearded, dark-skinned male profile in background.
Perhaps Shakespeare’s famous couple, Othello and Desdemona...
Somewhat rustic metal setting. Mid-19th century (Romantic era).
Measures approximately 3.5 cm x 2 cm including the setting.
