This charming pietra dura plaque, which is crafted from intricately cut and inlaid polychrome marble, is designed in the distinctive Renaissance style.
This fine plaque is designed in the Renaissance style. The plaque features pietra dura inlay: tesserae of marble, cut to various shapes from a wide range of colours, are inlaid to produce a pictorial scene. A man and a woman dance, both dressed in Renaissance style garb; the man holds a horn aloft, while the woman lifts a tambourine. The figures are set against a dark marble background, and dance on a surface of green-yellow inlaid marble, which is set in imitation of a floor.
