Compact vintage sculpture with an impressive presence, depicting a pekingese dog, handcrafted in italy between the 1950s and 1960s in genuine solid silver.
a highly distinctive subject, with full, well balanced modelling that instantly captures the pekingese’s personality: a compact body, a prominent head, and a proud, confident posture.
