[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2296517, member: 5833"]The cameos in the first group are all good to very good work & all but one appear to have no damage. The one that does has probably been filed down to be less jagged. You would get a mix of helmet shell, conch shell & lava. Did not spot any signatures. The second lot is not worth having except, as you rightly note, the bacchante on the left, who is excellent. The black frames are jet. Forget the last lot. No broken masterpieces there. Now my rant.
