A large post renaissance rock crystal intaglio. Grottesca.

17-18th century circa

55 x 72 x 5 mm

A large plant divides into two main branches, evolving into volutes and curvilinear terminals, sometimes performed with globular elements as a variation. Among this intricate vegetation of decorative taste on the model of painted grotesques, there are animals, including: two rabbits at the bottom; in the middle three birds, one of which flanked by an insect; above, two other birds. The intaglio was engraved on a large stone of extraordinary transparency and purity, leaving the details so finely etched satin. The piece probably adorned a metal casket on the Renaissance model. To be identified.
