AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exquisite sculptural miniature in 915 sterling silver, the work of the renowned Spanish silversmith Francisco Vera, a master of animal-themed silver sculpture in the 20th century. The piece depicts a wild boar with extraordinary naturalistic detail — the coarse, undulating fur, the tense musculature, and the animal's characteristic expression captured with masterful precision in every stroke of the chisel. A work that reflects Francisco Vera's unmistakable artistic sensibility, whose animal miniatures are highly prized by Spanish and international collectors. Spain, second half of the 20th century.
