<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9656709, member: 79705&quot;]I picked up a cheap Pope. Looks like Pope Pius IX based off of an 1867 medallion.

This is the only female cameo I&#039;ve yet seen from John Crookshanks King. It is unidentified but listed as &quot;Size 1 3/8” x 1.5” “Signed and dated on reverse: J. C.
