The object in the image is a framed collection of plaster intaglios, which are also known as Grand Tour cameos.
These plaster casts were popular souvenirs for wealthy travelers on the "Grand Tour" of Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The original intaglios were engraved stones or gems depicting classical scenes, figures, and mythology from Greece and Rome.
The plaster casts, like the ones shown, were reproductions of these ancient carvings, making them more accessible to travelers.
Intaglio literally means "carving" in Italian, referring to the depressed design, which is the opposite of a cameo's raised design.
Collections of these intaglios, often mounted in shadow boxes or book-like cases, are now considered antique collectibles.
