Cameo measures approximately 84mm tall (including bail) x 55mm wide. There is a minute chip to the termination of the helmut. There are superficial scratches to the back of the cameo surface and to the metal, consistent with light wear. As a side note, the overall quality of the cameo and the skill necessary to execute a design of such intricacy makes this one of the most complex pieces of jewelry the Director has reviewed.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
