Winged Putto

Materials: Lava and silver.
Size: 1 5/8 x 1 5/16
With frame: 1 15/16 x 1 11/16
Date and origin: Italy, ca 1895/1905

The frame is English (hallmark: sterling)
Condition: Mint. It has been lightly handled and seldom worn.

The very light line on the background IS NOT A CRACK, but just only a vein of the stone. Near invisible.

Wonderful high-relief cameo depicting a lovely Putto. The frame is coeval of the cameo, in deco style.
Very desirable and collectable brooch. As any collector know, lava cameos of this quality are rare.
