<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 11399428, member: 17332&quot;]I finally got my hands on a Georg Bissinger cameo! I am so chuffed. It is signed on the back and underneath the signature is inscribed &quot;Blanche of Castile&quot;. Unfortunately, there is some unknown gunk on the back of the cameo making it difficult to photograph &quot;Castile&quot;. I tried to clean it, but it didn&#039;t have much effect.</p><p>It is on the larger side and it has a bit of weight to it. The pin stem unscrews so that the cameo can be worn as a pendant without the risk of impaling yourself. </p><p>Blanche lived in the 1200s, so the ruff is about few hundred years too early, and there are not contemporaneous paintings of her. So I chalk this beautiful depiction up to artistic license. The details is amazing.[ATTACH=full]542668[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]542670[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]542671[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]542672[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
