Description from the seller

This refined .925 sterling silver sculpture depicts a swordfish and is characterized by a movable body with interlocking scales that simulate its organic motion. The workmanship is finely chased to define the veining of the fins and the texture of the body, while the face is adorned with green-stone eyes and the characteristic long snout.
There are silver hallmarks, as shown in the photo, that attest to its authenticity.

Dimensions: 45x12x18 cm
Weight: 361 g

Overall good condition of preservation; minor material defects due to the normal passage of time, visible in the photographs.
Please carefully observe the photographs as they are an integral part of the description.
Tracked shipment including secure packaging, any duties and customs taxes will be borne by the buyer.
