Among the rarest and most moving objects in the world of antique coral cameos, this 19th century piece presents the face of the Lord Jesus carved in Aka Blood Red coral — a material of extraordinary rarity and sacred resonance. The cameo measures 25 × 20 mm, its deep, velvety crimson surface carved with the precision and devotion of a 19th century master craftsman, the portrait rendered with a quiet dignity and spiritual presence that transcends its material. Aka Red coral — the most coveted of all coral colours — gives the face a warmth and depth that seems almost to glow from within.
At 7.8 grams, it is a piece of real substance and presence. Versatile in its wearability, it can be mounted as a pendant, brooch, or ring — a devotional object of the highest order, equally at home in a private collection or worn as an expression of faith. In perfect condition with no chips or cracks — exceptional for a 19th century piece of this significance. Sourced from a European private collection and authenticated by our 3rd generation antique specialists at Kingdom of Antique Arts, Vienna.
