Antique Cameo

Description Roman or viking made of onyx and some other white stone. Gold. On back is a triple layered stone made of carnelian and some other white stone in the middle. Locket has a place for a magnifying glass or another picture. Two pictures of young boys are on each side with a glass cover on each. It was said that it was made around the 1870s, but I don't know for sure.
