<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 3044120, member: 8363&quot;]Wow. It will take me some time to parse all this information.&nbsp; You are so wonderful to tell me all of this.&nbsp; I thought that extra spur on the pin was to stop the pin from damaging the cameo, but I checked and it keeps the pin from flopping down when it is put into the catch.&nbsp; It is rather large at 2 1/4 inches long and 1 3/4 inches wide, so I can understand why the catch was upgraded from a c clasp.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you&#039;re right about the Egyptian theme.&nbsp; I had no idea until you mentioned the fans.&nbsp; The harps&#039; faces seem to be right also.&nbsp; The man with the stick seems to have a sword hanging down in the back, so I think he is armed.&nbsp; I can&#039;t understand him being portrayed as a prominent figure in the front unless it is telling a story of an armed visitor to the pharaoh&#039;s throne who is being permitted to gaze on the dancing woman, maybe a concubine, while the pharaoh leans back relaxing on his seat.&nbsp; I think you are right a lion and the dog lying at his feet.</p><p>The metal surround is sturdy, yellow and untarnished, so I am guessing gold too.&nbsp; </p><p>I am happy to think antique or almost with the 1920&#039;s.&nbsp; In this case, I was fulfilling a dream of having a beautiful cameo not so much the age.&nbsp; It can hang out in a display case, when not in use, but it&#039;s purpose is to go out and be in the world with me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
