This antique shell cameo features the biblical scene of Rebecca at the well, finely carved in soft white relief against a pale ground. Set in a warm gold-toned frame with a scalloped edge, the scene captures a quiet moment of grace and devotion, a style that was especially popular in 19th-century cameo work. A timeless piece with strong symbolic imagery, it wears beautifully as a brooch or can be displayed as part of a cameo collection.
Gold-filled circa 1890, measures 2" tall by 1.5" wide
