AMAZING RARE LARGE ANTIQUE CAMEO, BACCHANTE  Many symbols present, including wine cup, thyrsus and wine bag ********************************************************* Such a rare and lovely antique cameo dating to the Victorian period. From a  British  estate  and in wonderful condition. A seldom seen presentation of a Bacchante maiden,  follower  of Bacchus, god of wine.  These were joyful,  celebratory images in cameo art  of  the day, and this one has all the bells and whistles possible ~ including many Bacchus   symbols,  a wine cup, the thyrsus (a pine-cone topped staff) and the most rare of all, a  wine  bag.  All these were symbolic of happiness, and fertility. The maiden herself is quite complex,  with a full upper body and both arms, swathed in a flowing scarf. The clouds below are  indicative of Mt. Olympus. Exceptional ethereal coloring of soft taupe and snow.  Bezel set in gorgeous period pinchbeck mount with elaborate flourishes.  A true masterpiece! Measures 2 3/8" by 2" ********************************************** We Welcome newcomers to ebay and our auctions, but if your feedback  is under 20 please contact us and state you have read our policy before bidding.  **********************************************   Many of our items are older, vintage or antiques, and are sold as is, though many are in great condition for their age, they may not be NEW !
