    That is a fantastic cameo!
    ...But I'm not seeing Queen V... she looks more like a generic Flora/goddess to me...?

    Thank you! :joyful: The carving was done and signed by Lamant. I love the details he put into things like the swags, the tiny toes and the fat ankles. I posted her back on Jan 1.

    The portrait is based off these 2 etchings from the time of Victoria's 1937 coronation. It took a bit of research to find them, but I'd an inkling it was her before I went looking.
