AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Miniature Spanish guitar made of silver with handcrafted decorative carving that faithfully reproduces the classic structure of the instrument. It features a vaulted harmonic top with a spiral carving design, a textured neck, a tuning peg with open slots, and a ring detail at the base. The base allows it to be displayed vertically like an original guitar.

This type of miniature was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s as a collectible display piece, typically crafted in specialized workshops using precious metals.

The Spanish guitar is a universal symbol of Iberian musical culture, and its silver representation was common as a tribute to musicians, luthiers, or as a high-quality tourist souvenir.

Ideal as a decorative object, a themed collectible piece, or a symbolic gift for lovers of classical and traditional music, this miniature stands out for its careful craftsmanship and evocative character.
