    Description

    LAST 3 photos are of a cameo sold at Bonhams in 2012, same subject as this one, which was not signed! That price was 9 years ago.
    One of the rarest cameos.
    SIGNED ON BACK, SEE PHOTOS.
    Set in a silver bezel, unmarked, but tested sterling which was the norm in early Victorian times. Also a sign of its age is the actual pin which is longer than the frame of the cameo.
    Tarnish / patina had not been touched by us.
    We are not certain about who the figure could be , perhaps St George and the medieval dragon?
    Any suggestions?
    Measures approx. 2 1/4" by a tad over 1 3/4".
    Last few pictures show you the same subject sold in Bonhams in 2012 for close to 0!
