Description from the seller
Solid Silver Elephant – Finely Detailed Sculpture
Portugal assay mark (1938-1984), 833/000, and same date marker's mark.
Beautiful solid silver elephant figurine, expertly crafted with remarkable attention to detail. The sculpture depicts an elephant with its trunk raised, a traditional symbol of good luck, strength, wisdom, and prosperity.
The finely textured surface realistically captures the natural folds of the skin, while the expressive eyes, carefully sculpted ears, and elegantly shaped tusks demonstrate the high quality of the craftsmanship. The lifelike pose and balanced proportions make this an impressive decorative piece and a desirable collector's item.
The figurine is in very good vintage condition, with a rich natural silver patina acquired over time. Minor signs of age and use are consistent with careful ownership. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description.
