Late Victorian finely carved shell cameo brooch, of circular form with cameo image depicting Athena dressed as a warrior in high relief, then surrounded by natural pearls, effecting a scalloped edge motif. The back with extra-long pin stem, and a replaced or resoldered safety clasp. This is a superior cameo, and the relief is not a run-of-the-mill side view of a female with long curly hair. The natural pearls are very well matched as to size and color.
