Description from the seller
Leonessa Distesa sculpture in 925 silver laminated on a wooden base.
Refined art sculpture depicting a lioness in a proud and relaxed pose, crafted with remarkable attention to anatomical details and the texture of the coat. The feline figure is embellished with a finish in 925 silver, as confirmed by the hallmark on the back ('ARG 925').
The lioness rests on an elegant oval base made of solid wood with a molded edge, creating a pleasing chromatic contrast with the shine of precious metal. Its compact yet proportionate size makes it an ideal decorative object for desks, bookshelves, or as a prestigious paperweight in a classic study.
