Approximate weight is 207 grams.
Approximate frame dimensions are 13.4 cm height, 10.6 cm length and 1.8 cm depth.
Approximate portrait dimensions are 7.5 cm height and 4.8 cm length.
In good condition. There are two faint lines visible on the bust, one from the nose to ear and one from the lapel to shoulder. These do not appear to be cracks or restoration. What appears to be a small loss to the very bottom right hand corner of the bust is how the portrait bust was constructed and is not damage. A little movement of the plaque within the later frame.
