Description

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.
