    Ammendola is a contemporary cameo cutter, maybe affiliated with CASCO, which has a stable of cutters.

    For subject matter I would go with Venus & Adonis. Venus fell in love with a hunter because of his beauty, which surpassed that of the gods. We tend to think of a pretty boy as beardless & somewhat effeminate. This is a more rustic & manly version.

    It's a lovely piece. Getting in on the ground floor of cameo collections of the future.

    Very pretty!
    Of course, I second Bronwen's assessment of it being a contemporary cameo, not vintage... or not vintage by much. The newer cameos often seem to have the white ring around the perimeter. And that setting is the same as the setting of a custom cameo I commissioned just a few years ago.

    Thank you so much!

    Found the below CASCO link:

    There are few cameos signed Ammendola, I will let you judge it, to my eye is not the same cutter.
