This is solid 925 sterling silver. Our figurines are created by inspiration from animals. Making an excellent gift and collectible piece. It can be used time and time again, plus passed down through future family generations as a keepsake. I designed this figurine by carving out of a wax block. I then cast it into silver and hand polished the piece. A perfect gift for yourself or that special person in your life. Your design is presented in a velvet pouch.
