About the Item
A whimsical and highly detailed Spanish novelty silver penguin, stamped to the underside of its webbed feet. The figure is charmingly modelled standing upright and dressed in shooting attire, complete with a hunter’s cap and a long rifle slung jauntily over its shoulder. Crafted with realistic feather-textured detailing and expressive glass eyes, this anthropomorphic character embodies both humour and craftsmanship — a delightful example of novelty silverwork.
