<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4612045, member: 5833"]As komo said, helmet shell; cameo would have been cut in Italy & set elsewhere. As stracci noted, style of the lady is 20s/30s. This one is quite plain; it is usual for them to have flowers in hair, on shoulder, or both. Cameo representations of contemporary women tend to lag behind the fashion a bit. I would put this piece to later 30s into the 40s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would not expect the mount to be solid gold, but quality of cameo & quality of setting are not always commensurate.
