[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 439100, member: 5833"]The black looks integral to the material. Only way to remove it would be to cut off the sides. The making of resin cameos is not an area I have put much study into. This one is shell, late 50s/early 60s, bit of a hodgepodge of elements Might be a crown, but more likely meant for a Spanish comb. What I think of as 'Lady of Spain' cameos were popular for a while. They seem to be the descendants of Psyche, with the squared off butterfly wing on her brow. It got so square as to be unrecognizable, migrated back & became a comb. From here: [ATTACH=full]154331[/ATTACH] To here: [ATTACH=full]154332[/ATTACH] There is nothing wrong with starting a separate thread, & putting my name in the title certainly gets my attention, but you are also welcome to add inquiries to the ongoing cameo thread: [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/cameos-show-tell-or-ask-answer.23493/page-38#post-438878[/URL][/QUOTE]
