<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 559631, member: 5833"]I have made this gamble before & not always been right, so we'll see. The photo posted doesn't capture very well what I see about it that makes me think (hope) stone. There are places, most notably the delineation between her forehead & her helmet, where the white is so thin, the black shows through. This is a delicate thing to do with a molded glass figure. Also, although I have seen this image before, I have never seen it in glass. There is one point that is more consistent with glass than with stone, the way the white bust goes right to the edge of the black table on the right. This may mean the figure did not end up affixed where it was supposed to be. I did not pay so much that it will upset me if it turns out to be glass, because I appreciate well done glass cameos too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
