This is a BEAUTIFUL CAMEO from a Delaware Estate. Circa 1900 this CAMEO is Carved Conch Shell depicting HEBES AND THE EAGLE. This is a popular mythological motif with the EAGLE representing ZEUS. HEBES or JUVENTAS was the ROMAN GODDESS OF YOUTH, DAUGHTER OF ZEUS AND HERA and often shown with the EAGLE of ZEUS. Set in a light 14K GOLD FRAME this Brooch measures 1 9/16" X 2" overall. Crossover Pin and a C Clasp on the back helps date this work of ART circa 1900. In EXCELLENT CONDITION ..Difficult to Find SHELL CAMEOS better than this
