5850 1atmjtss ((SILVER, looks like a Dragon's head)), $50 MINIMUM BID, Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province, Lima Department, Peru, 3.5 x 3 x 2 cm, Miniature | |
Here is a thick heavy wire Silver specimen. It resemble the head of a Dragon. This is an old specimen from an old French dealer. About 15 years ago there were some finds in Peru that produced many great wire Silver specimens. These are in collections now and Peruvian Silver specimens are not seen at shows any more. I have a few of these newer great and expensive specimens that I acquired over the last 15 years. This on predated these later specimens and was purchased from Michael Jouty, a French dealer along with 4 German Silvers at Tucson in about the year 2000. |
