Vintage Pressed Glass Cameo Fob – Gold Tone – Greco-Roman Centurion Profile – Oversized Pendant
A lovely vintage fob pendant featuring a classic Greco-Roman centurion profile in rich carnelian-colored pressed glass. The cameo is molded from molten glass paste with impressive detail for this type of production.
The reverse displays a beautiful openwork design, making this a fabulous reversible pendant fob.
Condition is very good. There is a faint line across the crest of the helmet—visible in photos but not obvious in person. The cameo is firmly set in the antiqued gold bezel.
