<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vector, post: 9592373, member: 83864&quot;]It&#039;s great to see that this thread has been active since 2017. I&#039;m very impressed with Bronwen&#039;s enthusiasm. I just recently purchased my first cameo. I would like to share some of my thoughts on this piece and hope to receive everyone&#039;s comments and opinions. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]464505[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Quality of carving</li> </ul><p>The overall modeling feels lively and dynamic. The nose bridge, the prominence of the nostrils, the lips, and the slightly exposed teeth, as well as the rounded edges of the upper eyelids, are all well-crafted. The partially obscured ear seems a bit unnatural, and the hair tips aren&#039;t carved in great detail, perhaps to create a sense of the hair ends flowing freely?</p><ul> <li>Signed or not - Not signed</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>Subject</li> </ul><p>At first glance, it appears more masculine, and I initially thought it was Apollo, but after comparison, Apollo often appears with long hair tied up on the forehead. Then I felt it might be the Goddess of Victory, Nike, or perhaps there isn&#039;t a specific subject, just depicting a lady with a laurel wreath.</p><ul> <li>Material - Sardonyx</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>Condition</li> </ul><p>Overall, it&#039;s in good condition, though there seems to be a slight wear on the nose bridge.</p><ul> <li>Setting - Mounted in 18k white gold from recent decades, very minimalist and stylish.</li> </ul><p> <ul> <li>Size - 4.3 x 3.5 cm</li> </ul><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
