[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4339365, member: 5833"]The original mold may have been made from a helmet shell cameo. It really would be more convincing if they made it flat. It looks like something that would have been executed in hardstone, either as cameo or intaglio. All I know is that they're not newly on the market; they've been around for, at the very least, 4 years, probably a whole lot longer than that. Is this how the surface looks or a trick of the light? If the material is deteriorating a little, that speaks for some age. [ATTACH=full]358100[/ATTACH] Think UK or US. Over the years have not made note of which country they were being sold from. Is this a truncated version of yours? [URL]https://www.pinterest.com/olithica/antinous/[/URL][/QUOTE]
