Item Description

This amazingly sculptural, stout, wire silver looks just like a standing otter with a turned head and an outstretched leg. The wire is a composite of thinner silver wires interspersed with quartz. A very fine and aesthetic miniature from the Art Soregaroli Collection. Very little new material has come from this well-known mine lately.
