How hard it is to photograph pietra dura. The pictures really do not do this piece justice. The details are simply wonderful. The lady holding the jug, the other jug on the floor, really a lovely piece. It is nicely and appropriately framed and in Very Good Condition. The plaque measures about 4" x 6".
