You can imagine that cameos, way back before mass production, received much of their popularity due to being so small and yet so elaborately carved. Picture how amazed you were the first time you witnessed the goings-on at the Your Name On Rice kiosk at the mall. Except that cameos—the nice ones—are often carved from stone, coral, shell, or glass and not a piece of Minute Rice. The word "cameo" is Italian meaning "to engrave," and it's no wonder that people place a lot of value on the real deal. Look at all of the cheap plastic imitations out there in the world (including the one in this spider) making a mockery of a great art. Do you have a real cameo? Or know anyone else who has one? Wonders to behold.
