Description from the seller
Impressive decorative figure in 925 sterling silver depicting a hyena in motion.
The sculpture shows a notable level of detail in the modeling of the fur, the musculature, and the facial expression, capturing the distinctive character and energy of the animal.
The piece is made in solid silver and features a meticulously chiseled texture to imitate the coarse fur characteristic of the hyena.
The body leaning forward and the tail extended suggest a posture of alertness or stalking.
