[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9466121, member: 5833"]I saw the auction listing. Really unusual, almost certainly French, but since it is ivory I couldn't get serious about it. I have long maintained that cameo ornithology is atrocious. The face of this bird looks to me like a cross between a falcon & an owl. The feet say owl; closed tail shape more like other raptors. The lady's bare bosom & complete lack of any military accoutrements argue against Athena/Minerva.[/QUOTE]
