This Wedgwood cameo from the late 18th century is a miniature work of art, depicting a scene from classical mythology. The white figures, raised in relief against a black jasper ground, feature a procession of goddesses, with a winged figure of Cupid, likely representing the god of love, Eros, at the far left. The cameo is framed by a decorative border of green and white, enhancing its visual appeal and highlighting the intricate details of the scene. This small but beautifully crafted piece showcases the enduring popularity of classical themes and the skillful artistry of the Wedgwood Manufactory.
