<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 4550681, member: 17332&quot;]Cameo and jewelry gurus: I would like your opinion. This plaque has been in my collection for a while and I have never been able to decide the material from which it is made. It is in a fitted case, which looks to be original, as the plaque fits snugly. The plaque is very light and thin. It is more yellow/cream than my pictures show. I don&#039;t see Schreger lines, so I question whether it is ivory. Velvet is glued to the back and I haven&#039;t taken it off. I did pull up the side of the velvet and there is old yellow glue holding it down.</p><p><br /></p><p>The carving is extremely detailed and fine. To me it looks like the aftermath of a battle since there is a man with an amputated leg and another with a knife stuck in his belt who is a double amputee. Maybe after the French Revolution?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts as to material or subject matter? Thanks for your help.[ATTACH=full]403406[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]403407[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]403408[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]403409[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]403410[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
