About the Item
Tender and exquisitely carved, this antique shell cameo brooch captures an intimate mythological moment: Cupid, the god of love, cradled gently on his mother’s lap—likely Venus (Aphrodite), goddess of beauty and affection. The hand-carved scene is rich in detail and warmth, set in an ornate gilt (gold-plated) frame that enhances the soft, romantic tones of the cameo. A timeless piece that speaks to both maternal love and classical elegance.
