A cameo! Difficult to say from your pics if it is carved from one piece of carnelian agate, or if the white head is applied...
ok thank you very much!
I agree with kyratango on both cameos. It is difficult to know from the photos if this one is agate/'hardstone' or glass. You may be able to decide by examining the line where the figure meets the background, looking for signs that the cameo is all one piece (stone) or made in 2 pieces (glass). Often, on cameos made in 2 separate pieces, you can catch your fingernail under the edge of the figure.
Both cameos look quite small, probably intended for use in a ring.
This one appears to be the goddess Athena/Minerva; the other one is less definite, but would probably be seen as Hera/Juno.
There's only one cameo here, correct? Just two different camera shots. They're very blurry. Are you able to post some in focus photos? I can't see any sharp outlines - no definition. Can you tell by touch what the materials are? Warm, cold, hard like a stone or more of a lucite feel?
Think I introduced the confusion. This page has 2 photos of 1 cameo, but n2brmn123 has another similar one right next to this with the same questions, to which I am giving pretty much the same answers.
Thank too all of you for all of your help....
