Identifying Antique Painted Cameo Brooch: Seeking Expert Appraisal


Question

rombr
I have no Clue I can't even find this style of cameo anywhere! I have been look for awhile. If you can give me any info I would be SO HAPPY!
I have Pictures of the Brooch if you need them. The Brooch looks like shell but the man is made of some else. I do not know if it is a Roman or Greek or Celtic?  

Answer
HI TERR,

I'M SORRY BUT I WOULD NEED TO SEE THIS PIECE IN PERSON TO GIVE YOU ANY SPECIFIC INFO. I DO KNOW IT IS NOT A TRUE CAMEO IF IT IS NOT MADE FROM A SINGLE PIECE OF SHELL OR ONYX. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR THAT DESIGN And can't i.d. it either. SORRY FOR THE SMALL AMOUNT OF INFORMATION, GOOD LUCK
