peer agreement (net): +5eine in Perlen gefasste Kamee (1870) Explanation: http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/Cameo CAMEO - Engraving or carving in low relief on a stone (as in a brooch or ring). A small piece of sculpture on a stone cut in relief in one layer with another contrasting layer serving as background. Source: European Union. Cameo An anaglyph on a precious stone. The anaglyph is when the figure is raised in relief; an intaglio is when the figure is hollowed out. The word cameo means an onyx, and the most famous cameo in the world is the onyx containing the apotheosis of Augustus. These precious stones have two layers of different colours, one serving for the figure, and the other for the ground.
