AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This small 800 sterling silver dolphin sculpture, dating from the mid-to-late 20th century in Europe, depicts a dolphin leaping out of the water with graceful, flowing lines and a lifelike, realistic form. The back of the piece bears a European standard 800 sterling silver mark, confirming its sterling silver material. Weighing 22.3 grams, its small and exquisite size makes it suitable as a desktop decoration or for silver collectors.

The surface exhibits a natural patina developed over time, with minor scratches visible – normal signs of age on antique silver. The overall structure is intact, with no breaks or damage to the fins or tail. The shape is well-preserved, and the silver mark on the back is clearly visible.
