<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 164866, member: 210&quot;]I found this at a thrift for 50 cents yesterday.&nbsp; I have researched it for hours.&nbsp; I know the male figure is Hermes/Mercury, but who could the female figure be?&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it is Athena/Minerva, only because the figure is depicted nude.&nbsp; The figure is holding a pole axe; my only guess is that the female could be Iris, female messenger of the gods.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The intaglio? is carved from the top; the back is faceted; it is set in goldtone metal, no markings.&nbsp; I am wondering if it is Venetian glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone seen this particular carving/art depiction before?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]45171[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
