AI-assisted summary

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.

At the bottom of the tail the contrast between the silver and the seal '925' is clearly visible, which guarantees the authenticity of the precious metal.
