In this short note, an attempt has been made to estimate mass and luminosity of the unique object, V348 Sgr, which appears to be a “Rosetta Stone” for our understanding of late stages of stellar evolution, as

  1. i) its photosphere is virtually hydrogen-free and carbon-rich as with an extreme helium star,

  2. ii) it fades irregularly as does a R CrB-star and

  3. iii) it is surrounded by a nebular shell similar to that surrounding Planetary Nebulae.

We know a great deal more about the above-mentioned objects than about V348 Sgr and this knowledge can be used to obtain estimates on mass and luminosity of the latter.
