[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4493555, member: 5833"]Yep, conch shell. Should clean up well. Feel I've seen her before but can't put an ID to her. She reminds me of the figure of Liberty on so-called 'capped bust' coins, without the Phryigian cap: [IMG]https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/xlQAAOSwarlgazSS/s-l1600.jpg[/IMG] Given the unusual round shape of the cameo, would not surprise me if the inspiration was a coin. Nice find![/QUOTE]
