<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 559633, member: 5833&quot;]Yes, seller gave the piece - it&#039;s a ring - rather short shrift.&nbsp; It is Athena; she has a satyr both on the visor of her helmet &amp; conjoined behind her in what is called a &#039;janate&#039; (like the god Janus) composition.&nbsp; I need to do a little searching in the Tassie collection of impressions of engraved gems to see if I can find out more about the origin of this image.&nbsp; Another reason I will not be devastated if the cameo turns out to be glass is that I like this composition &amp; do not have any other example in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
