This is a modern engraved stone cabochon, not an antique cameo.
What it is
• A polished oval stone (likely green jasper / serpentine or similar)
• Laser-engraved or mechanically engraved image of a leopard (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0)
• Flat back, domed front → typical cabochon form used in jewellery making
How we can tell it’s modern
• The engraving is uniform and shallow, consistent with laser or rotary engraving
• No metal mount, pin, or bezel wear
• Stone thickness and polish match contemporary craft cabochons
• Wildlife portrait style (high-detail realism) is modern rather than classical cameo style
What it was meant for
• Setting into a ring, pendant, belt buckle, or inlay
• Sometimes sold loose for custom jewellery or souvenir pieces
• Popular in African wildlife–themed jewellery
