<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BMRT, post: 1627487, member: 10892&quot;]The Nona cameo arrived! I gave it a small quick bath but she’ll have to go back in for another wash. Not all the grime came out. I agree with the earlier suggestion. This looks like ivory.[ATTACH=full]233504[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Her lip still has a tiny dip which I believe is a detail from the carver and not a chip or mistake. Perhaps this was based off an image of someone real and not imagination?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]233505[/ATTACH] </p><p>Compared to the other pieces of ivory I have this one is marbled with colors of yellow and creams. I don’t know if that denotes age but the clasp and pin on the back are not the older “c” style however I don’t see signs of the back mechanisms having been replaced. They are not glued on but affixed with teeny nails. It does not look like screws.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless I am happy to add Granny in with the other ladies and gentlemen. She took the last available spot in my display. Full house. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> [ATTACH=full]233506[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
