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.
