Antique Eros Resting by a Tree and Fountain Loose Shell Cameo

This antique shell cameo depicts a serene neoclassical scene of Eros (Cupid) resting beneath a tree, his head leaning thoughtfully on one hand. Beside him stands an ornate fountain, with water spilling as doves gather and drink, adding a sense of movement and harmony to the composition. The carving is executed with fine detail, from the feathers of the birds to the delicate features of Eros, all enhanced by the natural contrast of the shell layers. Presented as a loose cameo, unmounted and ready for setting, this piece offers versatility for collectors, jewelers, or those who appreciate classical themes in miniature works of art. Its imagery symbolizes love, reflection, and tranquility, making it both a wearable jewel when set and a collectible treasure on its own.
