I am surprised you have not had a reply to this. We often get into discussions of turquoise/not turquoise. Are you asking about the pendant only...
I don't like it. Too flat, white figure too shiny, another place where the white runs out before relief is complete. The mount is 20th century,...
Go here: https://www.carc.ox.ac.uk/carc/gems/James-Tassie and enter 13890 in the box for gem number. There are some more following that one....
I didn't quite understand this. I'm very bad at understanding things from pictures. Is this a cameo you have in your hand or something you're...
BTW, this is based on an intaglio of the Archangel Gabriel. Cutter has added a grape leaf or two.

Cook's Tours was taking the bourgeoisie to Europe before the publication of this monograph. The frescoes of Pompeii & Herculaneum provided many...
It requires a moderator like @i need help to move a thread; komokwa is not a moderator. I have already given you clues about the scene. It's not...
You don't need my confirmation, but definitely molded. As the Cameo Times article says, have yet to see one of this subject that wasn't. Seems to...
I'm not one of the potties, so may be way off, but perhaps they made this jug in several body colors & this one is from the ivory line.
I would have to open up the chain to take the slide off, even then doubt I would have the dexterity for the task (that darn tremor). Wish I had...
The wording of the 'Notice' at the beginning makes me think the book was intended for a wider readership, for people 'passing through the desolate...
Separate names with a comma.
