A small onyx cameo is mounted on a Victorian brooch characterized by a small golden setting with a chiseled frame, joined to a long brooch. The stone, carved in high relief, shows the frontal bust of a young man, presumably Hercules, with a slightly three-quarter head. Excellent state of conservation.
