A superbly modelled decent sized solid sterling silver animal figure. It is hallmarked with the Hanau marks for B. Neresheimer & Sohne. I would date it to c1950s. Its been beautifully modelled being finely cast in the form of a female pheasant. It is in super condition being free from dings splits and repairs. It measures approx. 6 inches (15.2cm) long beak to tail by 3.5 inches (8.8cm) wide by almost 3 inches (7.4cm) tall to the top of the wings and weighs 126 grams. A very well designed high quality example.
