Image description

Porphyry has been valued since antiquity for its rarity and for its purple-red colour, sometimes associated with royal or imperial rank. In Florence and Rome in the sixteenth century the technique of cutting this extremely hard and intractable stone - virtually lost in the Middle Ages - was once again mastered, and the fashion for decorative objects in this exotic material was almost immediately established.
