Description
A silver vessel is masterfully crafted in the form of a stylised duck or mythical waterfowl, featuring a gracefully arched neck and intricately detailed plumage. The surface is adorned with swirling cloud motifs, finely incised feather patterns, and carefully hammered scales along the neck, all accentuated by subtle gilding that enhances its rich, aged patina. The expressive head is sculpted with striking eyes, a sharp beak, and elegant curled detailing, lending the piece a dynamic and lifelike presence.
