[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 13223642, member: 5833"][ATTACH=full]561650[/ATTACH] I'm quite fond of this lady, who has been patched with gold at the sides. One also sees shell cameos that have had all of the brown background broken away & the remaining figure set in a minimal mount with wire spokes that wrap around from the back & hold the cameo with what look like prongs from the front. This rescue astounds me. The background has been broken away and the cameo glued onto glass that conforms precisely to the curvature. [ATTACH=full]561652[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
