The listing, Round Cameo with Cherub and goddess has ended.
The detail of this Cameo Brooch is exquisite it features the Goddess Athena with winged cherubs picking fruit. The depth from this hard resin material is fantastic and expertly crafted in high relief with beautiful shading of the colors. Each figure's facial features are refined. Athena's gown flows like sheer gossamer. The fantastic trees and stream in the background are highly detailed as is the cherub on a ladder handing down the fruit while the other one is offering a bouquet of flowers to the Goddess. The use of the curvature of the resin gives the scene a 3-D quality as if a master carver had created this work. The cameo is set in an antiqued goldtone frame of rosettes and scrolls. The pin clasp is in perfect working condition
