If those are grapes on her head, could be one of the Bacchante girls. ;)

I saw at least a few grapes and leaves on enlargement !!

In looking closer at the cameo in question...that "graining" on the back looks more like tool marks to me.  ???

Check the following page about 1/2+ way down (below the ring).
There is a left-facing "Gold mounted Victorian Bacchante Wine
Goddess Mount Vesuvius volcanic lava antique cameo brooch".

(Question: Were left-facing cameos done by left-handed carvers?)

Also, I'm not saying it can't be lava, but lava is typically clay or brown colored,  not yellow.
