Nereid sea nymphs rode the Hippokampoi - fore-parts horse and serpentile tail of a fish. This image may be of the nymph Thetis. Just a guess -

Geekers... Well - I found a FABULOUS picture but don't know how to find a URL :((( - I'd love to share it... Back to our search.... Here I go again; it seems that Lorenzo the Magnificent (Medici) had a cameo habit...and in France Coldore was the hot topic. Off for more....

I know you made this one easy for me :) So - I copied the Introduction. BUT - OOHOHHOH - the jewelry pieces are spectacular and worthy of a look. "The Campana jewelry collection, which was acquired by France in 1861, consists for the most part of Etruscan, Greek, and Roman pieces...
