Prestigious pair of decorative sculptures depicting two fighting cocks in dramatic and mirrored postures (gallos de pelea), an excellent expression of the mid-20th-century Peruvian silversmithing school.

The prominent crests, open beaks in a defiant stance, and majestic raised tails confer incredible kinetic energy to the figures.
Punch marks are impressed beneath the wings.

Total weight of the pair: 780 g.
