<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 359766, member: 5833&quot;]Modern Italian cameos rarely follow the old conventions for the use of &#039;attributes&#039; to identify figures; they freely mix and match.&nbsp; The Phrygian cap is usually seen on Paris (who abducted Helen), Perseus or the female personification of Liberty.&nbsp; Sometimes it simply indicates the figure is a shepherd.&nbsp; Here, artist&#039;s liberty.&nbsp; There is a fantastical, almost art nouveau sensibility to many of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
