Potential Artist: Image analysis suggested a possible link to Italian artist Ermes Ottaviani, who is known for similar silver-plated animal sculptures. While no signature is visible in the provided photographs, and direct attribution cannot be confirmed from images alone, the style is consistent with such mid-century Italian pieces. Further inspection for marks is recommended.
Condition: Appears to be in very good vintage condition from the images, with a bright and clean plated surface. Minor surface wear consistent with age may be present. The underside protective covering is intact.
