Very nice seal or stamp * bones (beef) and silver metal, representing a Pierrot sitting on a book, an inkstand before him, perhaps an evocation of the nursery rhyme "In the moonlight," Dieppe work of XIXth century.

This seal is in good condition. It does not present a monogram on the stamp (blank).

A note: some scratches and wear time view photos.
