Commentary


C’est l’une des dernières émissions d’Hélène pour l’atelier de Trèves. Les cheveux sont retenus par un diadème perlé. Collier de perlesau cou. Sur cet exemplaire nous ne semblons avoir que STR sans point.
This is one of Helene's last issues for the Trier workshop. Her hair is held back by a pearl tiara. A pearl necklace around her neck. On this example, we only seem to have STR without a dot.
