Huge Mythological Cameo Triptych

The story begins above the clouds with the representation of Apollo the Sun God in his chariot, drawn by the four horses, Eous, Aethon, Phlegon & Pyroeis.

In the center is a landscape garden scene with two male and a female figure with a baby. A statuary, trees and a castle can be seen in the background.

Near the bottom of the cameo is perhaps the most powerful representation. Her eyes so piercing, expression daunting. This cameo has me and everyone I've shown it to perplexed - and fascinated!

This can certainly be worn on a chain (and pinned for security) but deserves to be exhibited in a collection.
