Charming Cameos – at Hartley Brown

While inspired by the intaglio, the cameos creates the opposite effect – instead of the main focus being sunken, the image is raised.

Modern cameos are carved into layered agates, dyed to create strong color contrasts.

Hartley Brown in Gallery #50 has a number of charming modern cameos.
