A silver articulated fish - Spain - 20th century

This is a rare silver fish, intricately hand-etched with a flexible moving tail and green gemstone green eyes. The fish displays stunning silver work on every etched scale and with its sinuous line-work that make it look very real. The fish displays some Art Deco style elements both on its stylized fins to its face. On the face of the fish we can see abstract angular motifs mixed in with a flower, which surrounds the eye. It is uncanny in its movements, as it moves in wave like forms when held in your hand; in the palm of your hand the fish feels and weighs very real. On one of the lower fins you can see the hallmark of a Pentagram that is a Spanish quality mark indicating a minimum of .915 Silver purity. on the other fin is the makers mark. The fish is made of 915 Spanish Silver and weighs 85 grams. It measures 18 cm and to the top of its fin its 6cm high . Carefull shipping with track&trace
