Her wreath and the goat’s head at her shoulder are picked out to startling effect inan uppermost layer of contrasting glossy black.Signed in the right field, A AMASTINI.Cameosby Amastini complement the collections of the Cabinet des Médailles, Paris; the Staatliche Münzsammlung, München; and the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.
