Vintage life size lizard sculpture, handmade in Italy between the 1950s and 1960s in genuine Italian silver.
An unusual and captivating naturalistic subject, modeled with careful attention to anatomy. The elongated posture and the detailing of the legs and tail create an immediately realistic appearance, typical of high quality mid twentieth century Italian silver.
Despite its slim profile, the figurine has a solid and satisfying weight, confirming full silver construction. A decorative object with strong character, ideal for collectors seeking uncommon and well executed animal subjects.
