Lovely Angel Skin Coral Cameo

"A day can press down all human things, and a day can raise them up. But the gods embrace men of sense and abhor the evil." [Athena to Odysseus. Sophocles, Ajax 130]

This lovely angel skin coral cameo depicts the Athena, also known as Minerva, the Goddess of War and Wisdom. She is symbolized through the presence of owl wings in her hair and the arrow to her side. The cameo is set in a neat gold mounting with an elaborately etched design. The piece measures 1 and 3/4 inches (46 mm) in width and 2 and 1/16 inches (53 mm) in height. The piece has an old style c-clasp for the brooch closure.
