That is very much like yours, although quite a bit newer. The way your doughnut takes up UV also pushes me toward something organic. Especially...
Yes, I've recently learned that glue can really stand out under UV. Looks like wood, but trust your tactile info that it is not. I rarely see...
Wonder whose idea it was to put an illustration of a Jewish man holding on to a coin on the cover. Just looked at the link Kronos posted. Ilse...
Wish you would show the entire scene on the bodies. From what I can see, looks like it could be a version of this: [ATTACH] but I really can't...
If I had no other information about it, I would think it was wood. I considered Vulcanite, which does go brown over time, but not like this that...
I was afraid you were going to say it is 18 inches high & then would have had to rethink. Others may weigh in with thoughts on more specific use...

Following up on janet: [IMG] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Eros_Lysippos_Chiaramonti_Inv1509.jpg Another Canova Cupid & Psyche is this...
It can be hard to tell if the cameo is small & a lot of it is covered with the setting, but the coloring of that one is all wrong. If you haven't...
