    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It turned out beautifully. Good thing you have daughters to hand them on to since sons seem to be at a loss for what to do with them.

    Is that Aniello Pernice's work? He's excellent, best I'm aware of among contemporary cameo cutters. I have a Phaeton by him.

    Phaeton after Gibson modern Pernice.JPG

    It was funny. He listed it on eBay as Aurora & I wrote to say Phaeton. He said he knew. Evidently he didn't trust eBay shoppers to know. It was unsigned but I asked him to sign it before shipping.

    He passed the test. It's the only contemporary cameo I have. It was the subject & the skill that made me depart from the older ones. I find so many modern Italian ones cartoonish.

    NICE! Those look like point-cut diamonds - nom, nom. Oh yeah and the carving isn't half bad. :jawdrop::jawdrop:

    I am constantly shocked at how little info many auction houses provide even for very pricey items. I'd like to see the back of this one too. Trying to decide whether to buy it. I wish.

    I'm not; they weren't trained in the school of hard knocks, either the E or the A division.

    He is often depicted with that sort of hat and long beard. So I think you are probably right. And thanks for resurrecting this thread!

    Just yesterday I was thinking that I needed to find an interesting cameo with which to bring this thread forward!

    When that showed up in the Finds thread I figured Bronwen would like him. There has to be a Mona Lisa cameo out there somewhere too.

    Not as many as you might think. This is the only one I have in my records. Modern, pleased to say it is not mine:
