A large branch of Mediterranean red coral (Corallium Rubrum) and a large branch of Sciacca coral, mounted together on a gilt bronze base. The creation of the vase-shaped base involves various techniques: lost wax casting, mold casting, chiseling. The base is circular, with a ribbed edge, and widens and then narrows towards the top with a wavy profile. On the sides there are two rings and on the front the face of a gorgon. Italy, early 19th century.
