An etruscan carnelian scarab, mounted in a gold bracelet by Giacinto Melillo. Centaur, armed with two swords. Engraved employing two globular elements. Polished. 4th - 3rd century B.C. The gold bracelet, still in its original box, was created by Giacinto Melillo (1846 - 1915) in neo-etruscan style (presumably Naples, 1870 - 1890 circa). The refined manufacturing includes parts in filigree-dotted pattern, and shows elegant vegetal ornament. The jewel is perfectly preserved.
