<p>[QUOTE="PepperAnna, post: 9595987, member: 17332"][USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER], I think you may be right. When I looked at it initially, I took the spear to be the female's accoutrement, because it was carved in the same layer. That's how I jumped to Bellona, and then the Hermitage had the same ID. But your points are well thought out and based on the evidence. So now I am in your camp.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find when I look at cameos or intaglios that museums have, there are sometimes errors. Recently, I found an error of the V&A's identification of a Wedgwood mold. It was identified as a man, but actually it was Cleopatra with the asp around her arm. It was very similar to the Cleopatra cameo I own, which is why I recognized it in reverse. I emailed them with the info, but they have yet to correct it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
