Plaster Intaglio Sunken Relief of Child / Rare Low-Relief Figure / Shallow Decorative Art / Antique Art
Measures 4 1/4" x 3 1/2"
Front is in very good condition. The back has some chips. See last photo.
The material is plaster (or chalkware), allowing for detailed casting or hand-molding.
This was part of an antique dealer's estate and one of my favorite pieces in his huge collection.
Rare, unique and fascinating.
I think I would preserve this is a shadow-box frame.
