Gross weight: 15.73 g. Dimensions: 4.3 x 2.3 cm approx. Reference: "La collection Cartier", Flammarion, 2018, page 518 for a Moor's head in carved tortoiseshell. REINVENTING WORDS TO DESCRIBE As society moves forward, should art history follow suit? By calling this profile "dressed", many will recall the magnificent cameos dressed in jewels that brought glyptics and jewelry to the pinnacle in the Napoleon III era. Of course, it's very difficult to apply precious metals and stones to a hard stone, but the result is an exotic fantasy that Cartier perpetuated in the 1950s with this charming clip.
