[QUOTE="Indianajonez, post: 225669, member: 4404"]Hi and thanks for all your comments so far, although the "another frog to kiss" remark eludes me for the moment lol Comments so far suggest, Italian, bog wood (Maybe Irish due to the three leaf clover hint) and circ early 1800's It is suggested that the straight Roman style nose makes it Victorian or even possible earlier, and the 'C' clasp also suggests an early cameo. If anyone can give more info on other possible dates (Love it if the cameo was even earlier then the 1800's) I must admit I though the scene was reminiscent of Tudor England due to the clothing and the hawking link, but I guess Italy may have also worn the same style of clothing, and almost definitely hawked. Anyway; please keep your comments coming, and if you know of another good place I can post this enquiry for more info, please let me know. Thanks again, Indy[/QUOTE]
