Refined vintage decorative sculpture depicting a legendary Viking Drakkar, an excellent example of Mid-Century metallurgical craftsmanship (circa 1950-1960). The model is distinguished by the prow finely worked into a dragon's head and the curved stern, iconic symbols of Norse seafaring. The object is made of copper and brass, materials that exhibit a magnificent and natural patina of time, unmistakable sign of authenticity and natural aging of the metal.
