サザビーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サザビーズInstagram)「This little lion, carved from iridescent cymophane (popularly known as cat’s eye) is dated to the late Renaissance, when virtuoso hardstone carving was at its height. 🦁 Offered in our Small Wonders sale, the cameo comes from the famed Marlborough Gems and may have appealed to previous owner George Spencer, 4th Duke of Marlborough due to the prominence of the heraldic lion on the family’s coat of arms. You can view this rare gem (estimate £30,000 - £50,000) in our Small Wonders exhibition, opening at our London galleries tomorrow, and running until the sale closes on 16 December.
