This cameo is really exceptional, one of the most well-finished I had ever seen, really a masterpiece, in MINT condition, and is the first shell cameo signed I have had: the signature says "Neri" (around 16:00 hours), but I have not found a carver of this name on my books.
This is a fabulous cameo, very collectible and desirable, well framed and of good size. The frame is in mint condition, with original C clasp. No pendant bale.
