The photo is part of the description.

An extraordinary set of four place card holders made of solid 925 silver, mounted on lacquered wood bases (13 g each). Each piece realistically depicts a different marine animal: shrimp, crab, snail, and conch shell. An exceptional ensemble both for its sculptural beauty and its functionality at the table.

The visible contrasts indicate sterling silver 925 and the workshop code CC207, characteristic of Spanish jewelry craftsmanship from the second half of the 20th century.
