Every contour of the creature's form, meticulously cast, modeled, and chased, exudes lifelike realism, showcasing the masterful skill of its creator. The hallmarking on the side attests to its authenticity, while the bottom reveals a treasure trove of history with its array of English hallmarks, including a stamp of London's silversmithing excellence in 1862. Of particular note is the maker's mark 'BM,' adding to the provenance.  Weighing a total of 26 grams, this sterling silver masterwork is not just a snuff box; it's a tangible link to a bygone era of elegance and workmanship, destined to enrich any collection or interior.
