Cameo

Today I saw my grandmother and she gave me this really neat cameo. She said that my grandfather had brought it back for her after his tour in Japan nearly 50 years ago. She said that the chain had never really fit her and she thought I might like to have it. I love it and I love it's history. Sorry for the bad photo...It not the typical English cameo, the background is made of glass and I'm not sure what the face is made of but the quality isn't of any concern to me, it's the thought that counts. Also, my grandmother that the Japanese call us 'long noses' and that's why the lady in the cameo has an exaggerated nose. I find it to be somewhat "picasso-esque"...either way it's lovely!
