Cameo or intaglio, Hercules against the Lernaean Hydra. Glass. Possibly Italy, 19th century. The scene depicts Hercules, holding aloft the club, as he battles the Hydra, a multi-headed monster, in one of his twelve labours. Such pieces were created in large numbers as they were highly prized as souvenirs by Grand Tour travellers, and several were often collected together to form collections.
