Here's an extremely hard to find hand carved plate, a souvenir of Montreux - the home of the famous Montreux Switzerland Jazz & Music Festival. This depiction is of the Castle at Chillon in Montreux Switzerland, the place that inspired Lord Byron's "Prisoner of Chillon". We're not sure what kind of stone this collector souvenir plate is carved from, but it's done via a cameo technique by cutting back progressive layers to reveal different colors and relief over the surface. We find this handcarved work to be particularly beautiful, with the chateaux in the foreground and the Swiss mountains and sky rising in the background. The plate has original paper labels on the front for Montreux and Sculpte a la Main and Handgeschnitzt, French and German for hand carved. It measures approximately 5.5" in diameter and is in excellent condition, right off the shelf of a Miami Beach, FL penthouse condominium.
