She looks fairly modern to me. Mother Cabrini? [IMG]
Your Mary is a lot sexier than the one on the cameo!
It appears from this review that the earliest editions did have illustrations.
This is exactly the sort of touch that tends to be water soluble, making cleaning these pieces essentially impossible without leaving them...
The lava piece is very well done & looks like it could be Venus, although would want to see from more angles to be sure. The Celluloid piece is...
Good for you not to mistake it for coral. At least half the cameos on eBay described as angel skin coral are really conch shell. Heck, a lot of...
