Scope note
Small reliefs made from materials having layers of different colors, such as gems, glass, ceramics, or shell, and carved so that the design stands out in one color against a background in another. Cameos may be incorporated in jewelry. For works created from different pieces of stone and other materials, prefer "commessi (visual works)."
