Sculpture, Chiocciola (lumaca) - 5 cm - .800 silver

Sculpture, Chiocciola (lumaca) - 5 cm - .800 silver

This micro sculpture is a refined snail (or snail) made in 800 silver. It depicts a snail with realistic details, both in the texture of the body and in the spiral grooves of the shell. The casting technique (often lost-wax casting or artistic silver casting) allows a vivid, three-dimensional material rendering. Dimensions: As shown by the tailor’s tape measure in the photos, it measures about 5.5–6 cm in overall length, fully falling into the category of micro-sculptures/minor decorative art. Created by the historic Studio Artistico "L'Etruria Oro" of Garzi Marcello (100 AR), an Italian designer renowned for his refined silverwork. A one-of-a-kind piece that should not be missing from your collection.
