<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 3047136, member: 5833"]I have these in my 'Cameos to Study' folder, meaning I don't know what they are. I call it Separated Lovers.

I don't think it comes from classical mythology. There's no such scene in Romeo & Juliet, which is what comes first to mind. There definitely has to be a primary image, probably a painting, behind it. Doubt the wider community can help with this one. Sorry. Your photo has joined the other two in my file. Love the detail of the boy's sandals on yours. Conch shell is such a great carving medium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
