<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 138388, member: 33"]Because of the high relief, I'm thinking it might be made of something like lava. Lava cameos from Italy were very popular in the 19th century, and they are often in very high relief. Shell cameos usually are not. The only question is, were lava cameos ever such a light color? I do see some that are fairly light in Google image search:</p><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=lava+cameos&biw=1600&bih=775&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiIk_z-oaXMAhVCyYMKHcrKDOMQ_AUICCgD#imgrc=_" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=lava+cameos&biw=1600&bih=775&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiIk_z-oaXMAhVCyYMKHcrKDOMQ_AUICCgD#imgrc=_" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=lava+cameos&biw=1600&bih=775&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiIk_z-oaXMAhVCyYMKHcrKDOMQ_AUICCgD#imgrc=_</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and I love the birds on the setting on yours.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
