## Commentary

Although it is debated, Propezia de&#39;Rossi is generally accepted as the sculptor of this jewel. The exquisite cherry stone is carved with more than one hundred heads. It is set within a pendant formed by a laurel garland in gold enamelled with diamonds. It belonged to the collection of Grand Duke Francesco I de&#39; Medici.
