Cameo, Apollo and Marsyas. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century. A cameo or intaglio depicting the bound satyr Marsyas, Apollo standing and holding a lyre, and kneeling Olympus. Compare this piece with the well-known Seal of Nero, an intaglio that belonged to Lorenzo de' Medici (Farnese Collection) and is now in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, Italy. These types of pieces were produced in significant numbers, as they were highly valued as souvenirs by Grand Tour travelers, who often combined them to form collections.
