[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9553674, member: 79705"]A couple of gents that have come to live with me... [ATTACH=full]455975[/ATTACH] Looks like Antinous, but with his toga on the opposite shoulder than the Braschi sculpture, and a lot less flair. :smuggrin: The photo of this cameo was so blurry I didn't even realize who it was until later...I just thought the hair had lovely carving.

[ATTACH=full]455976[/ATTACH] This gent came from the UK, which makes sense...even though two sellers didn't recognize him as Shakespeare. I see a lot of these lesser carved style/color cameos so does this point to England for these type of carvings?
