Here is a rare sculpted lava cameo pin from the Victorian era. This pin features the classical Greek god Bacchanalia adorned with beautiful detailed engravings of a grape vine and leaves. The carved lave is encased in a engraved gold frame. It measures 44.5mm by 37mm and weighs 17.3 grams.

* Lava Cameos are much rarer than the more usual shell cameos. The bacchanalia were wild and mystic festivals of the Greco-Roman god Bacchus (or Dionysus) also called the god of wine.
