<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 319110, member: 5833&quot;]With only photos to go by, I would have guessed glass, with some paint added for contrast, now mostly worn away.&nbsp; But if you think it is lighter in the hand than it should be, then plastic really the only other alternative.&nbsp; The paint is likely to be water soluble.&nbsp; Fortunately cameo does not look in need of cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>This image always makes for an attractive cameo, even in man made material.&nbsp; It looks quite a lot like many depictions of Apollo, but the underlying image is the Angel Gabriel in a Raphael painting.&nbsp; Because it can be seen as Apollo, some cameo cutters have seen the possibility of making it his sister Artemis/Diana by adding her signature crescent.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]106079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]106080[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
