probably late 16th century · Agate, gilt silver · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
The carver who used the deepest red of this ambitiously multicolored cameo for the fallen stag and a hound was also influenced by Alessandro Masnago (see 38.150.33), even to the point of indicating the source of light, in this case the sun at the center top.
