Putto Materials: ivory, goldplated silver? (hallmarked) Date and origin: Italy, ca 1870 Size of the cameo: 1 15/16 by 1 1/2 inch Size of the frame: 2 7/16 by 2 inches Condition: excellent. This is a Museum Quality cameo carved in very high relief to depict a frontal Putto. Because the three dimensional carving is very difficult to show the actual look of the face, more expressive in person than on a flat picture. Ivory cameos are maybe the most rare, above all of this quality and size. Highly desirable collectors piece.
