Hello, this item is a reverse-painted glass panel artwork featuring a neoclassical or Art Nouveau style composition with a lyre-playing woman below a group of cherub-like figures. Based on the painting technique, figural composition, and condition as seen in the images, this appears to be a decorative glass panel rather than an ancient artifact. The presence of Art Nouveau floral elements and Western-style dress suggests a late 19th to early 20th-century European origin. It is likely a decorative item used in interior design, possibly from France, Austria, or Italy.
Considering the size noted as approximately 120 cm by 70 cm and weight around 20 kg, as well as the specific reverse-glass painting technique, similar examples typically range in market value from $800 to $1,500 USD, depending on the quality of execution, provenance, and condition.
