[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 389022, member: 5833"]Thank you. Spent way more than I'm usually willing to part with, but have never seen anything similar & couldn't resist. She is an especially lovely bacchante, fortunately, despite the distressed condition of the mount (yes, clasp has been replaced, probably to a safer one) the cameo appears undamaged. Bacchantes are common in lava, but the typical pose is with one shoulder forward. Yours is unusual. [ATTACH=full]134892[/ATTACH] She's a subject surprisingly not seen all that often compared to some others, but the bare bosom & diadem indicate she is Aphrodite/Venus. :writer::turtle::happy:[/QUOTE]
