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. Weight: 22 Grams Stone: Shell Measurements: 67.5 x 54.4 x 12.25mm Metal: Gilt Item #: BR-1592-050625-19
