Antique Roman Cameo Art Nouveau Lady Athena Long Hair Helmet

Description

This great old Cameo measures about 1 1/2 inches in length by about 1 1/8 inches in width. There is a line through the shell on the right side of the face. Whether this is a hairline or a transition in the shell is up for debate. The setting did positive for silver, I could find no marks. I was told by another E-Bayer that the this might be Athena, the Goddess of War. Please see the pictures posted and my store for many more great items.
