A simple twisted bezel surrounds this natural shell cameo. Hand carved in 1907, this cameo featuring three muses is a traditional design that spans 2,400 years from the Greek empire to today. The intricate detail of the cameo is an example of superb carving. Cameo is 1.38 inches wide by 1.75 inches tall. Cameos are one of the oldest forms of collectible art. The cameo process combines the artist's capabilities with the work of a goldsmith. The concept of cameos became popular during Greek and Roman times. It also became a traditional parting gift between mothers and daughters. Cameos remain today as one of the most sought after collectibles.
