Shell cameo - Apollo
Masterfully crafted shell cameo with the motif of the Greek god Apollo is set in a simple brooch frame made of yellow 17k gold (Au 730/1000). The fineness of the metal is confirmed by a certificate of the Assay Office.
Apollo, son of Zeus and Leto, belongs to the pantheon of the main Greek gods. As the patron of music, poetry and the arts in general, the leader of the Muses, and the god of the sun, divination and protector against disease, he is most often depicted with a lyre, laurel wreath or bow and arrows.
