Handcrafted in Vicenza, Italy during the 1970s to 1980s in solid 835 silver—a rare purity alloy for Italian miniatures—it showcases fine anatomical details and solid proportion.

In late twentieth-century Vicenza silversmithing, master artisans crafted exotic animal figurines using varied silver alloys, executing classic animalier subjects with fine precious metal technique.
