Description

I've had this brooch about 10 years and never knew anything about it. I did learn on line today that the figure on the front is Athena ? The cameo is set in bass maybe. There are no marks anywhere.The cameo has a dark pink and very smooth back. It has a small loop on the back at the top , I guessed this would be for a chain so it could be worn as a necklace also. I purchased this at a yard sale. I asked a lady if she had any jewelry and she said to come back in a couple of days. I did , she had a lot of jewelry so I took the lot. The brooch was part of the lot.

NOTE. I posted twice. Sorry
