Collectible sculpture in solid 800 silver representing a life-size long-beaked butterflyfish, made in Arezzo by master silversmith Donati during the 1950s/1960s.

This subject falls within the tradition of great ichthyological studies in mid-century Italian goldsmithing. The piece accurately reproduces the proportions of the tropical butterflyfish (Forcipiger), famous for its elongated rostrum used for feeding in reefs.

Fully identified by its 800 net hallmark, its Donati brand name and its provincial code, this exceptional and unique figurine is ready to be displayed in a cabinet of curiosities, on a desk or within an art goldsmithing collection.
