Antique Hector with Paris and Helen Loose Shell Cameo

$399.00
Rarity - only one in stock
This finely carved antique shell cameo depicts the dramatic classical scene of Hector approaching Paris and Helen, drawn from the Trojan War cycle of Greek mythology. The figures are rendered in high detail: Paris and Helen are shown seated, while Hector, wearing a crested helmet and holding a spear, stands before them in confrontation. The carving demonstrates excellent depth, with intricate folds in the drapery and strong anatomical definition, all highlighted by the natural contrast of the shell layers. This cameo is currently loose and unmounted, making it ideal for collectors, jewelers, or enthusiasts of classical art who may wish to set it as a brooch, pendant, or display piece. A rare representation of a mythological subject seldom found in cameos, this piece captures both the artistry of 19th-century carving and the enduring drama of Homeric legend.
