Description:  This is a beautiful cameo with exquisite carving.  In the center is a woman laying down day dreaming.  Her arm resting on her brow.  In the tree above her head is a drape, carved in high relief and a quiver (symbolizing love and romance).  Look at the two men, peaking at her from behind the tree!  One man is holding a bow and the other an arrow.  On the left hand side are two woman and several cherubs, one of which is pointing a arrow at the sleeping lady.  Please take time to look at the intricacy of this cameo.
