    This little cameo just arrived. While waiting for it to be delivered I did a bit of digging. I thought, it won’t be difficult to find the source of the image, expecting to be either a painting, sculpture or another cameo. Unfortunately, all the search so far has been unsuccessful. Has anyone seen anything similar?

    Other than stating that it appears to be Diana the Huntress, I got nothin'. Hopefully, @Bronwen will find somethin'!

    Bronwen doesn't have much more except to note that the figure herself, without accessories, is styled very much like a conventional Venus/Aphrodite. Her hands are in a weird position for holding a bow. Wondering whether looking for a primary image among sculptures of Diana is futile, the attributes of bow and quiver added, and we should be looking toward the goddess of love. @mirana @PepperAnna
