• Material & Markings: Crafted in high-gloss .925 silver-laminated metal (argento laminato).

Signed "Ottaviani" with an impressed circular hallmark along the lower edge of the sculpture, and retaining the original red holographic manufacturer's sticker underneath reading "OTTAVIANI - Opera Depositata - Made in Italy".
