    She's talking about buying a cameo (a decorative art object). However, in modern terms, she and Wrecan are cameos (brief appearances by "outside" characters in a work of fiction).

    Edit: here is a Wikipedia article on cameos in the original sense.

    So the song runs on, with shift and change,
    Through the years that have no name,
    And the late notes soar to a higher range,
    But the theme is still the same.
    Man's battle-cry and the guns' reply
    Blend in with the old, old rhyme
    That was traced in the score of the strata marks
    While millenniums winked like campfire sparks
    Down the winds of unguessed time. -- 4th Stanza, The Bad Lands, Badger Clark
