I was seeing it as M, then occurred to me it could be lower case NI. This insight did not get me anywhere.
I see her as looking serious & intent. If that is a strap running across her torso, then, even without a crescent moon, think we can call her...
Mirana covered it pretty well. The only way you might gain would be if you found an unsigned but exceptionally good cameo, then managed, in a...
I couldn't find any evidence of one either. I don't think it's Civilotti's hand. Yours looks upward; the other looks out more directly. Same...

The other figure who generally has lowered lids is Cleopatra, as the venom is overcoming her. I could see the Tignani Ceres as having downcast...

Separate names with a comma.
