    Wonderful piece. Never seen this design before............What do the hallmarks say about time or place?

    looks quite special with the hand on the hand! Seems to be very good silver and really old. Very nice!!!

    Thanks, Hillary. I have to admit that I am crazy about this one. It is way too big to wear-15 centimeters tall-but I love to handle it.
