[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1927070, member: 5833"]Darn. Lost my draft when I left the message to reply to INH. Here goes again. I call her Headband Girl. Quite possibly the most widely replicated of the mass produced cameos in man made materials. She appears as a cameo, intaglio, reverse intaglio, right facing, left facing, every color & color combo, including AB, in glass & in plastic. She was originally produced in West Germany, so all jewellery with her as a component is post-WWII. As far as I can tell she is still being made. This one appears to be glass & assembled: the figure is a separate piece glued to the background. The bamboo look frame & decoration on the white layer make this one a bit different from most. Second one I've looked at today with the pin running left to right. Suspect work has been done on the back. It's a cameo brooch that also has a bail for wear as a pendant. Often described as a pin/pendant.[/QUOTE]
