<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4343662, member: 5833&quot;]You&#039;re trying to trick me into thinking there are 4 cameos here, aren&#039;t you?&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie38" alt=":cyclops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The first one is helmet shell.&nbsp; Looks like there is a mark for 800 silver on the back, with marcasites, an Italian setting.&nbsp; Wonder what cutter had in mind for her left shoulder?&nbsp; Typical would be a floral corsage.&nbsp; This could be the top of Diana&#039;s quiver peeking out, but to me it looks even more like the butterfly that accompanies <a href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/psyche" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cameotimes.com/index.php/profiles-1/minor-gods/psyche" rel="nofollow">Psyche</a>.&nbsp; Maybe the right shoulder has the corsage.&nbsp; I would place this one also to the 30s - 40s.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are correct that the second one is resin, although the color is very realistic.&nbsp; When a cameo figure wears jewellery or other accents that are applied, they are said to be <i>en habillé</i>.&nbsp; She is strictly a pretty lady type.&nbsp; Certainly a very sturdily made base metal mount.&nbsp; I do not know what the writing on it means.&nbsp; Is there one more letter, very faint, at the beginning?&nbsp; My feeling is that she is from the 50s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
