[QUOTE="fridolina, post: 3432716, member: 17433"][USER=17467]@Simona Buhus[/USER] If you, as you said, are attracted to the mythological side of the Cameos than reading about mythology is the best way to understand the images and subjects on cameos. Ambrosia and Nectar in Greek Mythology [URL]https://www.greeklegendsandmyths.com/ambrosia-and-nectar.html[/URL] The bird is Zeus’s eagle not Phoenix. The image is shown above clouds to suggest being high up, in this case Mount Olympus. About the first of your cameos, I agree with you in thinking they are vine leaves and the image connected with Bachus, possibly a Bacchante. The second one is more mysterious. The object on the left, with a stretch of imagination, could be seen as Pan flute/pipes. But I could be wrong. [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] might be able to shed more light on the subject.[/QUOTE]
