The cameo is a delicate, beautifully carved example of a scene from Greek mythology. I initially assumed it was the story of Leda and Zeus in the guise of a swan, but after a little research I believe it depicts the slightly lesser known story of Hebe and Zeus as an eagle. Either way, the carving and the Italian artistry is stunning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brooch is not stamped, signed or hallmarked - the yellow metal could be rolled gold, gold plate or perhaps even pinchbeck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brooch is about 2 1\/4 inches long and about 2 inches wide and fastens with an antique C hook clasp and long pin. The brooch is in very good vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62521986646346,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/2424\/4042\/files\/2026-06-1421.57.28.jpg?v=1782249495","url":"https:\/\/alicelily.co.uk\/products\/large-vintage-hand-carved-shell-cameo-brooch-pretty-scalloped-edges-depicting-hebe-and-zeus-as-an-eagle-some-say-leda-zeus-as-a-swan","provider":"Alice Lily","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
