A Micromosaic Depicting The Mausoleum Of Cecilia Metella, Hand-assembled And Hand-crafted In Silver
A micromosaic depicting the mausoleum of Cecilia Metella on the Appian Way, finely mounted in silver and entirely handmade. The composition reproduces the famous Roman monument with great precision, in keeping with the refined tradition of Italian micromosaic. The meticulous craftsmanship of the tiny tiles and the silver setting lend the work an elegant character that is highly sought after by collectors.
Silver mount, probably later and not contemporary with the micromosaic.
